Myth and Magic, The Beginning.

The Watson Group Ltd. has been manufacturing metal products in the Birmingham area of England for over eighty years. Originally it focused on costume jewellery, but changed its concentration to fine metal gift-ware items. The Tudor Mint Ltd., a subsidiary of Watson, was founded, and in 1989 created the first twelve Myth and Magic studies. The figurines were an instant success. In appreciation for all collectors, a yearly 'Extravaganza' show is hosted by The Tudor Mint Ltd. with approximately 800-1200 collectors in attendance.

Wizards, Dragons and Unicorns

Myth and Magic products are studies of medieval figures and characters from English folklore, expertly and artistically detailed in antique, silver plate metal, embellished with genuine crystals. The studies form the base of the product lines for distribution in the United States by The Tudor Mint Inc. The collection consists of Small, Medium and Large Studies complimented by Trinket Boxes, Chess sets, Candlesticks, Clocks and Windchimes

Land of the Dragons

Following the success of the Pewter and Crystal ranges of fantasy figures The Tudor Mint launched a range of resin figures under the collective title of The Land of the Dragons. These highly detailed studies now form a major part of the Tudor Mint range. Dragons were grouped into seperate collections each one incorporating the same striking mixture of colours which not only produced stunning and dramatic collections but also made the figurines adaptable for display within the home complimenting room colours and themes. With new ranges introduced regularly, the current list of Land of the Dragons collections include the original collections of Woodland Dragons, Mountain Dragons, Desert Dragons, Land of Ice Dragons, Land of Fire Dragons, Land of Glaciers Dragons and Land of Snow Dragons. The second set of dragons introduced after the initial success of the first collection includes Amethyst Dragons, Citrine Dragons, Flying Dragons, Lava Dragons, Sapphire Dragons, Celestrial Dragons, Imperial Dragons and Gothic Dragons. The newest collection in the Land of the Dragons is The New Beginning. but with the ever growing popularity of these finely modeled and detailed collections it is only the beginning.
The Collector's Club was formed in response to the ever increasing number of collectors, elevating products from the fine gift-ware status to that of highly desirable collectibles. Interest quickly spread to the United States and the pewter and resin figurines are now collected worldwide.

Unicons and Fairies

There is a touch of the darkside to many of the Myth and Magic and Land of the Dragons studies but there is also the gentler and magical world of fantasy represented in the new resin figures. The pewter and crystal studies had always included a number of pieces which showed both Unicorns and Fairies and this theme was carried over into the resin collections with a seperate collection of figurines showing Unicorns and Fairies.

Lord of the Rings

Before the phenominal success of the Lord of the Rings film trilogy The Tudor Mint had been making pewter and crystal studies of the characters and scenes from the J R R Tolkien books. The Lord of the Rings collection is now highly collectable in its own right and also includes a Chess set populated by the best known characters..

Crystal Momentos

New to The Tudor Mint in 2004 is the Crystal Momentos Range which combines the fine metal work of the pewter sudies with the highly coloured decoration of the Land of the Dragons.

Dragonets

The Tudor Mint have always incorporated a number of more humerous studies into their ranges and were keen to launch a range of pocket money dragons for younger collectors and those who enjoyed the whimsical world of fantasy and magic. A range of dragonets were launched, many designed to represent special occassions such as birthdays, exam success etc. The Dragonets are produced in 4 main colours: Ice Dragonets, Fire Dragonets, Amethyst Dragonets and Sun Dragonets.
