Dear all,
A while ago, December 2011, Jeremy informed you about my survey for new tableware with C & N logo.
How did it start. In the meeting of the Nicholson Circle of the Lower countries, in September 2011 I offered my Dutch friends to find out the possiblity to buy new, original C & N tableware. Via Jeremy I tried to get in contact with the original supplier Swift, in England, later established in America. No result.
During my stay in Portugal I found a well known company, Vista Alegre, who is making, reasonable priced, China tableware and can print self supplied logo’s for restaurants and hotels. They first want to have details about numbers, design and colours before they can give a price quote.
I contacted Plastimo and Mepal. Via Internet I found quite a few suppliers of table ware in the Republic of China.Till so far I can tell you that tableware with a C & N logo on melamine, mepal or China can be supplied in high quantities . E.g. 3500 pieces of one item, plate or cup or saucer, is very common.
Based on the survey and the follow up, I have the following questions:
– What is the demand, or how do we estimate the demand for tableware with C & N Logo ?
– What does the tableware consist of in basic material (melamine, China, hardened glass, etc), design, colour and pieces ?
– Where to find a company , like Swift, willing to supply smaller quantities ?
– May be a company who deals in business gifts or souvenirs (like mugs and plates with prints) can supply small quantities ?
– How to supply the sets of tableware, probably all over the world ?The work I have done till so far, was quite interesting but time consuming and this year I have not so much time for it anymore, so the final question is:
– Is there anyone who can give this a follow up ?I reported about my survey to the Nich Circle Lower Countries in the Netherlands. The 10th March, next weekend, there will be a meeting where this subject is on the programm as well.
Kind regards,
Aat Ruts.Spring is almost there, new tableware or not !
