We have been stockists of Emma Bridgewater"s pottery for fifteen years and we love it. It is designed by Emma and her husband Matthew Rice who run their factory in Stoke, England. All the designs are fun and lively but at the same time they epitomise classic English Country Chic. The pottery is made by hand and most of items are also painted by hand using either a sponge or a brush. The pottery is ovenproof and dishwasher safe. We are big Bridgewater enthusiasts.
