About Emma Bridgewater

Emma Bridgewater, the company, began in 1985, after Emma tried and failed to find a birthday present for her mum. She wanted a beautiful but practical piece of pottery and came to the conclusion she’d just have to design it herself: “That was my eureka moment. I realised there was a gap in the market for pottery that was beautiful and practical – pottery for a relaxed, colourful, mismatched life.” Today the company is run by Emma and her husband Matthew Rice, and new designs come from both of them. All their pottery is made in Stoke-on-Trent, the traditional home of British pottery, and they’re proud to be one of the largest employers of potters in the area.

Today they’ve expanded into tins and home textiles, but Emma and Matthew only design things that they love and want to use at home themselves, which gives their patterns a unique warmth.
