Make International understands that WWRD, owner of Waterford Crystal, Wedgwood and Royal Doulton, has been appointed to produce ceramic homeware and crystal products for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The company will produce ranges of ceramic and crystal products,
including a number of limited-edition Waterford, Wedgwood and Royal
Doulton pieces.
A selection of the ceramics pottery
will be produced in the UK, while selected Waterford Crystal items will
be produced in the Republic of Ireland. The products will go on sale
later this year.
Tenders for licensed merchandising opportunities, including ceramics and glassware, were held last year.
Charlie Wijeratna, London 2012 director of commercial negotiations,
says, ‘It is fantastic to have WWRD involved. Its brands are iconic,
incorporating the best of British and Irish design and tradition.’
