Emma Bridgewater’s distinctive kitchen pottery features on dresser shelves across the country. The homely and welcoming designs include sweet peas and figs and the bold calligraphy of toast and marmalade. Here she talks about her life and designs and some of the stories that have provided the inspiration for her hand-decorated pottery.

Bridgewater founded her pottery business in Stoke-on-Trent, the home of British pottery manufacture, in 1985 and has been designing its wares ever since.
