Wedgwood

In Staffordshire, 29 year old Josiah Wedgwood started as an independent potter in 1759. Over 250 years later, Wedgwood is an iconic English brand. Recognised as a pioneer in ceramics and the 'father of English potters', Wedgwood's customers include Royal Families and Heads of State as well as celebrities and families. Excellent standards of design and craftsmanship have made Wedgwood tableware famous around the world. Despite problems caused by global financial collapse, there is still a factory in the English Potteries producing items with the famous 'Made in Staffordshire' stamp while manufacturing is also undertaken by partners around the world, to Wedgwood's quality standards. The World of Wedgwood attraction in Stoke on Trent demonstrates all aspects of Wedgwood production.
