We'll be taking someone
home to Oz in a suitcase
Tom in Oz reporting from the Wedgwood Factory
Stoke On Trent, Staffordshire.

Today...
Today we went to various pottery factories, starting with Wedgwood where we had a private museum tour and met some wonderful people and then went to have morning tea at the only canteen in the world where all the crockery is Wedgwood. Scrumptious! We also spent a bit of the afternoon at the Moorcroft Pottery Museum...this may be considered a boring day for some but as a person who collects china (Carlton Ware) I appreciate the design and artistry which has been applied to numerous utilitarian items. We purchased some small Wedgwood items and shipped back to Oz a large ornamental bowl made by Waterford Crystal - nowadays Wedgwood and Waterford are owned by an American conglomerate who also own Royal Doulton. The Waterford bowl is apparently a rarity...a set of them were found at the back of the manufacturing plant in Ireland and for some reason they had never been released before to the public.
