Attention brides: read this before you register
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Are you getting married this year?
Considering registering for china or crystal?
Listen up: Waterford Wedgwood has joined the long list of corporations seeking bankruptcy protection.
According to this article the venerable brand will continue to operate while administrators seek a buyer.
“Waterford, Wedgwood and Royal Doulton are quintessentially classic brands that represent a high quality product which is steeped in history,” the administrators said in a statement. “The administration team will be working closely with management, customers and suppliers during this time to ensure operations continue whilst a sale of the business is sought.”
I usually do an inventory this time of year, when putting up the Christmas china and putting the regular china back out (that’s my pattern above, Cornucopia by Wedgwood). I’m thinking it might be wise to go ahead and fill in what I’m missing.
Does this news make you rethink registering for Waterford crystal or Wedgwood china? Or if you have a pattern, are you thinking of stocking up lest your fine china be discontinued?
