Wedgwood family in takeover talks

Two members of the Wedgwood family are mulling over a bid for the ceramics business which bears their famous name.

The eighth-generation descendants of Josiah Wedgwood, who founded the firm in Stoke-on-Trent in 1759, said they were in talks with five investors over a possible bid for the business and plan to bring production of Wedgwood and Royal Doulton back to the UK if successful.
