Did you know?
Emma Bridgewater and her husband, Matthew Rice, design every piece of pottery themselves – inspired by their home, their children and even their chickens.

All their pottery is made by hand in a Victorian factory in Stoke-on-Trent, keeping the area’s traditional skills alive and ensuring that each piece has a real integrity. Every mug, bowl, plate and jug has its own, very English, personality – full of charm and cheerfulness.      

Emma Bridgewater founded her business in 1985; three years later she met and married Matthew Rice.

Emma Bridgewater is the only large manufacturer that makes all its pottery in England – proudly contributing to Staffordshire’s heritage. It remains a family business and employs more than 200 people in Stoke-on-Trent.

In 2013, Emma Bridgewater was awarded a CBE for Services to Industry.
