They seized on the opportunity to produce plain and cut flint glass, both useful and ornamental in their factory, which was situated in the heart of Waterford City. Waterford Crystal Limited was, until March 2009, a subsidiary of Waterford Wedgwood PLC, itself formed through the acquisition by the then Waterford Glass Group of the famous pottery manufacturer Josiah Wedgwood in 1986. Waterford Wedgwood was forced into receivership in early 2009. Under the receivership managed by Deloitte, ownership of most of Waterford Wedgwood PLC's assets was transferred to KPS Capital Partners in March 2009. Waterford Crystal, along with Wedgwood, Royal Doulton and other brands, were transferred to the new company WWRD Holdings Ltd. |
