Emma Bridgewater Oak 1/2 Pint Mug

Emma Bridgewater Oak 1/2 Pint Mug

Next time you take coffee in your Oak 1/2 Pint Mug and admire the acorns decorated by hand on it, consider this: those acorns are an oak tree’s seeds that, when planted, will sprout and grow into new trees that will live for centuries. They sometimes manage to seed themselves in old hedges, or a farsighted farmer will plant them – particularly if he has sheep or cows that will appreciate the shade.

Might the leafy oak pattern on our pottery mug even inspire you to search outside for some acorns to plant yourself?

About Us

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
