The most sought after twin set in town!
The tankard is decorated with the distinctive 'Burslem's Legend' beer label motif on the front, with a descriptive panel on the back. Each tankard is finished with gold banding and comes complete with a numbered certificate of authenticity.
Wade Ceramic Tankard
So, you've got a beer to honour Burslem's favourite son, but what are you going to drink it out of? How about one of these specially commissioned limited edition tankards?
The idea for this fine piece of collectable merchandise came from Sproson Fund stalwart Tommy Wilkes, who used his insider knowledge to approach local pottery manufacturer Wade. Managing Director Paul Farmer, a lifelong Vale fan was impressed with the idea and so this strictly limited run of 600 pieces was produced.
