About Emma Bridgewater

Emma Bridgewater is a beloved British ceramics company founded in 1985 when 23-year-old Emma Bridgewater, unable to find a suitable cup and saucer as a gift for her mother, decided to create her own. Drawing four simple shapes—a mug, bowl, jug, and dish—she headed to Stoke-on-Trent to bring her vision to life. What began as a personal quest has grown into one of Britain's most cherished pottery brands, producing 1.9 million pieces annually at their Victorian factory in Hanley. Each piece passes through 30 pairs of expert hands, combining traditional techniques with distinctive hand-sponged patterns that have become instantly recognisable. The company's joyful designs featuring polka dots, hearts, and quintessentially British motifs adorn kitchens across the nation. Emma Bridgewater achieved B Corp certification in 2022, reflecting its commitment to ethical business practices. The factory welcomes visitors for tours and offers hands-on decorating experiences, making it a destination for pottery lovers.
