英国瓷器之旅：参观英国顶级瓷器生产厂Wedgwood（韦奇伍德）

WEDGWOOD

　　Before, he came across an article in the middle of England, said there is a history of going to the town of porcelain production, the text of the old English porcelain produced much appreciated. After reading that the ancient Chinese porcelain Kingdom, the British can produce what kind of advanced stuff come from? To the UK, to see ordinary Britons love and appreciation of porcelain, porcelain became aware of cultural development have long been international.

　　Know the brand because of a friend to buy cutlery and walked away from the town near Wedgwood boutique stores to do a special appreciation. Wine shop wine glass, porcelain cups and bowls of various shapes, such as an array of art, printed on the back of a lot of things with the "Queen's Ware" (Queen utensils), there are porcelain this logo is telling consumers that products have been supplied to the royal family to use. Used in the UK and India have "Quees's ware" words cutlery or tea is a status symbol, of course, the price is not cheap, compared with ordinary brand, Wedgwood price is usually several times to turn the. When he learned that such a beautiful production plant not far from the residence, and the all-day visit to the tourist development, how can miss the opportunity to experience the UK's top porcelain production?

　　Wedgwood (wedgwood, also translated Wedgwood) is an international multi-species products company, has nearly 250 years of history, Wedgwood founder Josiah Wedgwood is known as the "Father of British pottery."

Wedgwood porcelain factory is located in Staffordshire (Staffordshire) of Barlaston town, 30 km away from the town where I live around Biddulph.

　　Factories around the same pasture, range, surrounded by huge area from several rows of parking and a variety of vehicles, this is a dense set of labor-oriented enterprises.

　　After the tourist reception center £ 8 tickets per person, he was told to go outside, "BUS tourists waiting point" tourist reception waiting car sent to the factory tour. Less than five minutes of time, to see a minibus coming slowly, carrying six people this wave we drove to the production plant. Just a few hundred meters away from it, we stop at another tourist BUS, a middle-aged woman was brought directly into the shop, after the door set in the wall in front of a billboard simply explained the visit Notes After sightseeing tourists along the line it surrounded by a line consisting of freedom began to visit, there is no guide to guide and explain, at each station has a multi-language explanation cards (unfortunately not Chinese), visitors can work in Workers talk, sometimes you do not ask questions, are focusing instead on the mechanics of painting work will take the initiative to talk about him a few with you.

　　之前，曾偶然看到过一篇文章说在英国中部有个产瓷器的历史要镇，文中对老英产的瓷器大加赞赏。读罢觉得古代的瓷器王国在中国，英国人能产出什么样的高级东西来？到了英国，看到普通英国人对瓷器的喜爱和鉴赏能力，才知道原来瓷文化的发展也早已国际化。　　知道这个品牌是因朋友要购买餐具而走进的离镇子不远的韦奇伍德专卖店去做一次专门的精品欣赏。店内玻璃的酒杯酒器、瓷器的茶碗茶杯和各种造型的艺术品等琳琅满目，很多东西的背面印制着“Queen's Ware”（御用器皿），有这种标识的瓷器是在告诉消费者，这种产品曾经供应给皇室使用。在英国使用印有“Quees's ware”字样的餐具或茶具是身份的象征，当然其价格也是不菲，与普通品牌相比，Wedgwood的价格通常要翻几翻的。当得知这么漂亮的产品的生产厂离住所不远，且全天向游客开发参观，怎么能放过见识英国顶级瓷器生产的机会？
　　韦奇伍德（wedgwood，又译威基伍德）是一家国际性多品种产品的公司，已有近250年的历史，韦奇伍德的创始人Josiah Wedgwood被誉为“英国的制陶之父”。韦奇伍德瓷器厂位于Staffordshire（斯塔福郡）的Barlaston镇，离我居住的Biddulph镇30公里左右。　　工厂周围同样是草场、牧场环绕，从面积硕大的几个停车场和一排排各式各样的车来看，这是一个用工集密型的企业。

　　在游客接待中心每人8英镑购票后，便被告知到室外的“游客BUS等候点”等待旅游接待车送去工厂参观。不到5分钟的时间，就见一辆中巴缓缓驶来，载着我们这一波6人向生产车间驶去。也就几百米的路程吧，我们在另一个游客BUS站下车，直接被一中年妇女领进了车间，进门后在一张订在墙上的告示牌前简单的讲解了参观注意事项后，游客便顺着由一条围线组成的观光线路开始了自由参观，没有导游引导和讲解，每一工位处设有一多语言文字讲解牌（可惜没中文），游客可与工作中的工人交谈，有时不用你发问，正在闷头绘画的技工会主动跟您聊几句有关他的工作。

　　看图：

WEDGWOOD花园，面积大到了看不到边缘。这个公司占地面积大到多少我不清楚，只知道坐在车上在标有WEDGWOOD名字的地盘上转了好一阵。
