I love the quality of Emma Bridgewater mugs. And there’s so many designs to choose from!
I’m sharing my favourites (and will try to keep up with new design releases).

It’s not just the designs that draw me in though, I love the fact that it’s still a family run business with Emma and her husband Matthew Rice designing together.
All of the pottery comes from traditional Staffordshire cream-coloured earthenware which is made in their own factory in Stoke-on-Trent.
All of their pieces are individually hand-decorated so what you’re buying is unique!
I have several mugs and tend to cycle them around. They last for years in the same condition as when you purchased them.
Emma Bridgewater Collections
Blossom and Blue Tits Collection
We have a pair of Blue Tits that visit our garden several times a day. They’re really quick on the seed feeder and fat balls and tend to come when the sparrows flock in (safety in numbers?).
I LOVE how well the blue tits, blossom and spring flowers have been used for this collection. Just look at that jug!
I’ve hinted I would love the Blossom and Blue Tits mug for my Easter gift this year …

Dog Collection
OMG, this new dog collection of mugs (and personalised pet bowls) from Emma Bridgewater are GORGEOUS.
You’ll find pure breeds to cross breeds and mutts to moggies. The paw prints are really bright and colourful!
My favourite has to be the spaniel. I think it captures this breed’s personality perfectly.

Halloween Collection
Emma Bridgewater’s Halloween Collection has just been released and oh my! it’s fabulous.
You could use these all through Autumn and into Winter.
Wild Mushroom is my favourite mug from this collection … perfect for my hot drinks.
Which design from this collection draws you in?
Bumblebee and Insects
How cute is the Bumblebee design!
Wallflower Design
My all-time favourite is the Wallflower range.
There’s no blending into the background with the wallflower design. It brings memories to the forefront of the promise of Spring with the lighter days.
I can hear the buzz of bees as I’m sitting outside with a cuppa and enjoying the colour bursting forth in my garden.
The Wallflower 1/2 pint mug is just perfect for that.
You can purchase (at the same price) one painted with ‘Mum.’ If you wanted to personalise, the cost is only 5p more.
And as the dusk falls, you might want to light a Wallflower Flower Candle.

Visit the factory
If you’re in the area, plan a visit to the factory. As well as shopping and the cafe you can book for an experience in their decorating studio. They’ve recently started author events too!
Tip – Seconds
Don’t pass by the seconds. All pottery is inspected before it leaves the Emma Bridgewater factory so you will still be buying quality at half the price.
The faults are minuscule – it may be in the finish, the decoration or the shape. The faults are not structural (i.e. each piece still functions as intended and is usable). Faults are marked with a black line but washes off with a damp cloth.
Check out the seconds sales page and grab yourself a bargain.

Pottery care
All the pottery is dishwasher and microwave safe however it is recommended that a lower temperature wash and liquid detergent is used to maintain the appearance of the mugs.
