Emma Bridgewater Lily Of The Valley Small Old Bowl
Lily of the valley is associated with spring, renewal and luck. The reason why is said to be because King Charles IX of France was given a lily of the valley plant on 1st May in 1561 to bring him luck. Being of a superstitious nature, he decided to give a plant to the ladies of his court every year on that day. The French continue to present lily of the valley nosegays as gifts on 1st May; it’s a public holiday known as La Fête du Muguet. Our Lily Of The Valley Small Old Bowl makes a lovely present for someone, especially for a May birthday, or simply as a pretty floral serving bowl to wish a friend good luck with something.
About Us
At Emma Bridgewater, we like to make things that make everyday life a little bit nicer.
Where it began…
It all began in 1984, when Emma was working in London soon after leaving university. One day, she was hunting for a birthday present for her Mum. She wanted to give her two cups and saucers that would say ‘I love you. I miss you’. She went into a china shop and looked around, hoping to see some china that would capture the warm and welcoming spirit of her mother’s North Oxford kitchen. But in those days, the Great British high street seemed to have only two offerings: dainty and formal or robust and decidedly unromantic
