Interesting little vase - just Shudehill giftware???
« on: February 05, 2010, 08:32:58 PM »
I found this little vase some time ago - it has a "Shudehill Giftware" label on the base, at least that is what I assumed it said. Is it anything to speak of or just a little piece of cheap giftware?

They seem to be into every type of giftware, mostly made in Taiwan.

I used to export for Shudehill a few years back and can confirm they practically do everything and anything I think even salmon packs at xmas if my memory serves me right.  I think they are based in Manchester UK, either that or birmingham.

FWIW Shudehill is in Manchester and always used to have loads of importers and exporters in the 1970s

Now known as the "Northern Quarter" following redevelopment/regeneration and full of trendy loft apartments etc.
