Emma Bridgewater

Pottery that makes the everyday feel like a treat

There's something about a proper Emma Bridgewater mug — the weight of it in your hand, the hand-sponged pattern that's never quite identical to the next one — that turns an ordinary cup of tea into a small occasion. Every piece is still made and decorated by hand in Stoke-on-Trent, the home of English pottery, which is exactly why we chose it for The Rowan Tree: it's colourful, useful and made to be part of daily life, not kept behind glass.

We keep a changing shelf of classic patterns, garden florals and the seasonal designs collectors look out for — and because each piece is hand-decorated, no two are ever quite the same.
