Josiah Wedgwood and Sons, commonly known as Wedgwood, is a pottery firm owned by KPS Capital Partners, a private equity company based in New York City.[1] Wedgwood was founded on 1 May 1759[2] by Josiah Wedgwood and in 1987 merged with Waterford Crystal to create Waterford Wedgwood, an Ireland-based luxury brands group. After the 2009 purchase by KPS Capital, Wedgwood became part of a group of companies known as WWRD Holdings Ltd, an acronym for "Waterford Wedgwood Royal Doulton."
There are lots companies in U.K., which couldn't survive the financial crisis in 2008-2009 and finally were taken by PE from U.S., China or Middle East. Wedgwood was one of them, even it had a long history of making delicate china for Royal Families.
The most famous series is the Jasper, however the Wild Strawberry series is even more well known in Taiwan and Japan. I've collected 17 items of the Wild Strawberry series,and I really have to say it is way more cheaper to collect these china from Ebay U.K. than buying from anywhere in Taiwan.
The photos were taken mostly by NEX-3 with Vivitar 35-85/2.8 and Vivitar 24/2.8 manually.
