About Emma Bridgewater
Emma began it in 1984 when she was working in London immediately after her graduation. She was on the search for a birthday gift for her mom. She also wished to present her two ‘I love you. I miss you’ cups and saucers. She looked for pieces in a china shop that would remind her of her mother’s North Oxford kitchen, which was warm. In those days, the British high street had only two options: as tender and elegant or as robust and utilitarian.
Emma suddenly saw her mother’s kitchen dresser. She saw it in the china shop with the shiny, clashing crockery. Thus, it was clear that only manufacturing china herself could meet the goal. But she had no idea how or where. A friend suggested Stoke-on-Trent by word of mouth conversation. Thus, the unique and modern ceramic brand of Emma Bridgewater appeared. They have not deviated from that initial, creative moment’s focus on the mind and aesthetics for 30 years. They believe that their ordinary kitchen china is very much part of their lives and every cup, bowl, jug, and plate has their stories and makes them fuller as they share food and beverages.
Every design starts with a deep respect for what they love in the world. The only times they know they’ve succeeded is when you enjoy it. As for the recent years, they have expanded not only in pottery. Cups, bottles, cans, plates, cutleries, notebooks, wallpapers, table cloths, candles, and fragrances now come with their designs. In the continuation of her mental conversation with her mother from the year 1984, Emma carries on. Perhaps, however, you are only engaged now.
