    • Is Emma Bridgewater oven-proof?

      Emma Bridgewater ceramics are not oven-proof, and you should avoid using them in the oven unless they are advertised as 'cookware'.

    • Is Emma Bridgewater pottery made in the UK?

      Yes! Emma Bridgewater pottery is proudly made in the UK in Stoke-on-Trent, England. It's one of the largest pottery manufacturers, with operations entirely in the United Kingdom.

    • How Did the Emma Bridgwater Brand Start?

      It all started when Emma struggled to find a birthday present for her mum, from whom her design inspiration first started. She wanted to find something less formal than a stiff looking bone china dinner service, something more relaxed and liked colourful Italian terracotta pieces but these weren’t right nor tough enough for everyday use, so in a ‘light bulb’ moment she decided to design something herself. With her entrepreneurial spirit behind her she soon had samples to showcase to buyers and the rest, as they say, is history.

    • Can you put Emma Bridgewater in the microwave?

      We do not recommend putting Emma Bridgewater products in the microwave. The brand's pottery is not safe for the microwave unless it is marked 'cookware'.

    • Why did Emma Bridgewater start making ceramics?

      Emma Bridgewater began making ceramics when she couldn't find the perfect birthday gift for her mother. She was talking with a friend when they told her about Stoke-on-Trent, the place that would eventually be home to Emma Bridgewater's factory. In the decades since, the brand's products have inspired and sparked joy in people across the UK.
