Stoke-upon-Trent Shopping Tips by Bix10

Name of Shop: Wedgewood

Among all the big names in Chinaware in Stoke On Trent, I'd say that I prefer Wedgwood cos it's a little more livelier than the others. As a man, I like a place where it offers a nice little cafe for me to sit and have a sandwich and coffee while the ladies shop. The prices are not too much of a difference but it is cheaper than the retail prices in London.

Choices are good too. It's not so backdated and there are plenty to start off with.

What To Buy: Chinaware, glasses and cutlery.

What To Pay: lesser than london.

Name of Shop: Spode

This place is nice as it creates a sense of history in your visit. I like to go to places with some historical information. They have a little museum that's a little run-down but it's still useful. The factory shop for its product are not as cheap as imagined but it's better than London of course.

The place seems like a warehouse with plenty to see. It's true that there are plenty of plates / sets to choose from but one would need to be patient and careful in selecting them as they are rejected items and you would need to pick carefully before buying a lot.

What To Buy: Spode products or their souveniers at their souvenier shop.

What To Pay: Lesser than London
