There was a time when owning Waterford crystal was a mark of economic success, but those days are behind us.
The Irish firm that produces the famous cut glass objects has gone into receivership. If you had a notion to some day own a complete set of wine goblets for eight, or you've had your eye on a candy dish, it's time to take action.
The company, which also makes Royal Doulton china in its Wedgwood line, has been losing money for the past five years, and the current economic crisis is a final nail in a coffin that's been under construction.
Buy up what you can, what you've always wanted but feared you couldn't afford. Soon it will be gone, and the pieces that you own today will become that much more precious. Soon, there won't be any more and the county of Waterford will suffer the loss.
