For 200 years the Staffordshire Potters have made beautiful wares to commemorate Royal events: from the kilns of Minton and Wedgwood and hundreds of smaller works, the mugs poured out to adorn mantelpieces all over the world.

Emma Bridgewater are very proud to be a part of that tradition and to be celebrating our, King Charles III.
