Emma Bridgewater

The company was founded by Emma Bridgewater in 1985, when she was looking for a birthday present for her mother. Wanting to buy a cup and saucer, but being unable to find any she liked, Emma created her own. Drawing four shapes, a mug, a bowl, a jug and a dish, samples were created in Stoke-on-Trent, home of the creamware. Emma decorated these samples with the 'forgotten' technique of sponge decorating, resulting in a series of cool and new looking basic creamware with a strong identity. Emma Bridgewater is still a Stoke-on-Trent based producer of high quality handmade products with this unique signature.
