Workers have been told not to return to work on Monday. http://www.rte.ie/news/2009/0130/wedgwood.html
I am with you on this. I love my Waterford and always assumed I could replace my stemware if something was brokenDate: 1/30/2009 2:37:11 PM

I can''t imagine Waterford closing for good. I guess it might make my set of Waterford crystal more valuable, though.

The workers are still staging their sit in. I hope that they manage to save the company.
Please do Bee. We have a Waterford chandelier and I would be so upset if part of it got broken and we couldn''t replace it.Date: 2/6/2009 5:54:50 AM

I agree with you! I would just never think that Waterford, of all companies, could be on the brink of closing.Date: 1/30/2009 7:47:51 PM

It sounded like someone was trying to get investors together to buy it. Hopefully that will work out.
Marian, if they do close, we''d better buy a few extra pieces while they are still available.
That is good news! Thanks for posting!Date: 3/27/2009 3:00:13 PM

Just came across this! Woo hoo! Anybody know anything more? I saw a headline in a newspaper today saying something about jobs being safe...but it was somebody elses newspaper and I was peeping.
Jobs safe as Waterford Wedgwood is sold
Good point, I don''t know...it''s definitely popular here in Ireland. I got a ton of it as engagement presents, and I definitely think of it for giving presents. It''s been around so long and it such a household name, maybe it''ll last.Date: 3/28/2009 7:30:51 PM

I was just thinking, though. People are so casual these days, that I wonder if many brides even bother with formal crystal. I have all that stuff (china, crystal, sterling flatware) and I really never use it. So if the demand is down for expensive formal crystal, I can imagine that it has hurt the company.
