Wedgwood & Royal Doulton Outlet

Here you'll find cut-rate prices on cut glass, like 30 percent off a raft of blue-chip British tabletop brands like Waterford crystal. This must-stop is a combined outlet store on the campus of china icon Wedgwood, in Stoke-on-Trent, the heart of Britain's pottery-producing district. Also on sale: Royal Doulton and Edinburgh Crystal, mostly end-of-line or discontinued styles—so stock up.

Insider Tip: The most outrageous bargains (up to 75 percent off retail) are on the imperfect china, though most of it is has defects barely visible to the casual eye.
