Mothering Sunday with pottery from Emma Bridgewater
British Pottery brand Emma Bridgewater is introducing launches its spring offering with plenty of beautiful, new hand painted items just in time for Mothering Sunday.
Emma Bridgewater started the company over thirty years ago, after she tried, but failed, failed to find the perfect gift for her mum, so what did this resourceful young woman do? She made her very first cup and saucer herself and presented it to her mother!
Wallflower
The stunning Wallflower collection, inspired by the richly coloured and old-fashioned mix of Persian Carpet, and the sweetly scented Pheasant’s Eye narcissi in Emma's garden, make the perfect gift for mum.
The Wallflower 1Ž2 Pint Mug (£19.95) and Boxed Wallflower Tea Cup and Saucer (£33) can even be personalised with a name or a message, to make your mum feel special every day. For a smaller gift Mum is sure to love the Wallflower Candle (£14.95), scented with the classic fig fragrance.
Rose & Bee
Inspired by springtime roses and florals, Rose and Bee is part of the ever-growing collection of pink patterns that sit together perfectly.
The new 'Mum' Rose and Bee Large Cup and Saucer (£32.95) is a great gift for Mum, with its generous curves, a china-thin rim, and most importantly plenty of room for tea making for the perfect start to her day. Other new items include the charming Rose & Bee Small Teacup and Saucer (£23.95) and the 2 Cup Teapot (£44.95) to impress every afternoon tea guest.
The Pink Mix set of 3 vases (£34.95) is sure to delight mums and make them smile on Mother's Day. The beautifully delicate vases in different shapes and sizes are perfect for showing off springtime blooms. There's even a charming new Small Lidded Rose and Bee Candle (£24.95) and bathroom items including; the Rose and Bee Bathroom Jar (£24.95) and delightful Small Lidded Pot (£19.95). Helping to discreetly hide away everyday clutter.
Bedding
Longer lasting than flowers or chocolates, why not treat Mum to a set from the ever-expanding Emma Bridgewater bed linens?
With sizes ranging from single to super king and 8 patterns inspired from popular collections you are sure to find the perfect bedding for Mum.
The new Wallflower bedding (Duvet from £40 and Pillow Case £12) inspired by Emma's love of making quilts from scraps of favourite fabrics, will make Mum never want to leave.
Personalised items
What better way to tell someone they are special than with a personalised present? 1Ž2 Pint Mugs in some of Emma Bridgewater's most popular patterns, including Pink Hearts, Polka Dot, Rose and Bee and Wallflower can be personalised with a name or bespoke message all from £18.
Order by 22nd February to guarantee delivery in time for Mothering Sunday.
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.
