Ex Wedgwood I totally agree with ex potter, showing these pictures has made me so angry. To know that all the loyalty that was given by so many people has just been pushed to one side again.
Good luck to you in Indonesia but if people start finding out the real truth how we were treated over here then you might find yourselves in the same predicament. Karron Bridges It Breaks my heart to see what was in the blood of Staffordshire people been off loaded for a few cents more. It wont work ,thats why people brought it. What goes around comes around! Martha As an American who collects Wedgwood, I am horrified at the idea of that it will not be made in England.
I will not buy anything made anywhere else. Susan I'm disgusted at what has happened to our ceramics industry once famous worldwide. I'll be buying British only from now on. Allen Hanley I have no problem with the Indonesian workers. After all they are no different to any of us. They need jobs just the same. My problem is with Wedgwood. They have proven quite conclusively that outsourcing is not the be all and end all. Wedgwood factories, most of them, were the most productive in the industry.
They should have learnt to constrain their costs and invested more locally. Shame on them. Jean A big round of applause to Waterford Wedgwood; you stamped out Royla Doulton with the help of poor Wedgwood management and now you are stamping out Wedgwood. O'Reilly should be made to dig deep out of his millions and pay the agreed redundancy payments to the people whose lives they have blighted. Lets hope we have the last laugh when he gets his just deserts!!!!!! Royal Doulton sales fell after the transfer of production to Indonesia.
The same will happen to Wedgwood. People want quality ware made in the UK, Unfortunately once production has transferred to Indonesia it will be too late to restore our once great brand names. Loyal ex Doulton employee. Stephen Harvey this is why the Wegwood brand is dead. If you've tried resetting your password but still can't access your account, simply contact us.

Some Wedgwood stoneware owners notice grey marks or 'scratches' on their dinnerware. Don't panic—this isn't a defect. These marks can occur when metal utensils are used and meet the hard glazes typically used by most stoneware manufacturers. Stoneware glazes look and feel very smooth—however the surface is made up of microscopic 'peaks and valleys'.
When metal utensils touch the surface of the stoneware, often being softer than the glaze, tiny metal particles get caught in the microscopic valleys, causing those grey marks. Though some customers refer to these as scratches, there's not usually any actual damage to the glaze or the stoneware body. The good news is that metal deposits can be removed with a variety of cleansers such as Bar Keepers Friend.
The combination of chemical action and a mild abrasive in the cleaner easily removes the metal particles from the glaze What are your recommended care instructions? Please try again later. Be advised that changing your location while shopping will remove all the contents from your cart.
