New brands for Widdop Bingham

JDA member Widdop Bingham has recently added two new brands to its portfolio.

Old Tupton Ware is a well known, bestselling range of porcelain. Work is already under way in extending and developing the range whilst maintaining its history, tradition and quality. Each item is hand crafted and painted using the unique “tube lining” production method and is sold in a silk lined gift box.

With over 50 new and existing patterns and a wide choice of products including night lights, honey pots, vases and figurines, Old Tupton Ware would look at home within a jeweller’s environment as well as the Gift Trade. The range can be bought in single quantities and has a selection of point of sale solutions available.

Widdop Bingham has also been appointed as the new UK distributor for RCR Crystal, the renowned Italian designed and manufactured glass brand. (RCR was previously distributed in the UK by Gleneagles). The brand, which is well known within the independent retail sector, will benefit from the expertise and existing distribution channels that Widdop Bingham already has in place. Steve Dell, who oversees the UK market on behalf of RCR said, “We are delighted to have Widdop Bingham on board. The many areas of synergy between the two companies, and the focus that Widdop Bingham are prepared to give to the range, can only lead to positive results for RCR within the UK market”.

The range of everyday crystal glass stemware, as well as a comprehensive 24% lead crystal giftware range will be marketed under the RCR Cristelleria Italiana brand name, emphasising its Italian heritage. The range includes both traditional and contemporary designs and styles, and is aimed both in terms of price and appearance to appeal as either a gift or a self purchase.
