Bold, graphic, and utterly timeless — the Black Toast range is one of Emma Bridgewater's most iconic designs. Clean black lettering on classic cream earthenware, it's the range that looks just as good in a modern kitchen as it does in a French country one.

Available at Villarosa Maison in Nelson, this is one of the few places in New Zealand where you can get Emma Bridgewater in person or delivered to your door. Every piece is handmade and hand-decorated in Stoke-on-Trent, the historic home of British pottery, using the traditional spongeware technique that has defined the brand since 1985.

Choose from the half-pint mug (perfect for a generous morning coffee), the four-mug teapot for afternoon tea gatherings, the dairy jug, or the pancake jug. The small butter dish is a particularly lovely gift — practical, beautiful, and the kind of thing people keep for decades.

Handmade in Stoke-on-Trent, UK. English earthenware. Dishwasher and microwave safe (lower temperature wash recommended).
