Emma Bridgewater Polka Dot Mummy Half Pint Mug
Best thoughtful gift for mothers who appreciate classic, charming homeware.
This touching and special Polka Dot Mummy Half Pint Mug from Emma Bridgewater is the perfect present to gift to your mum or doting guardian on Mother’s Day or her Birthday. It is made in the classic ‘tankard-style’ shape inspired by the mugs made in the 19th century Staffordshire potteries. The vibrant sponge-ware patterns of coloured polka-dots spaced across the body of the mug looks wonderful when mixed with the hand-stencilled ‘MUMMY’ lettering found on the front of the mug in a luscious red, contrasted with the austere cream backdrop upon which the polka-dots strikingly lay. The interior rim of this beautiful mug continues the colourful nature of the exterior, with further polka-dots inside the rim. Emma Bridgewater’s English earthenware is hand-made in her factory in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire in England. The spongeware patterns are decorated entirely by hand.
