There's something quietly enchanting about the Bluebell range — soft, botanical, utterly English. Hand-decorated with the delicate blue blooms that carpet English woodlands in spring, this is Emma Bridgewater at its most gentle and charming.

Available from Villarosa Maison in Nelson, one of New Zealand's few stockists of Emma Bridgewater pottery. Each piece is handmade and hand-decorated in Stoke-on-Trent using the traditional spongeware technique — meaning no two pieces are ever quite identical.

The half-pint mug holds a generous 300ml and makes a beautiful gift for anyone who loves English countryside style. The smaller mug is lovely for a morning espresso or as part of a paired set. Both look wonderful displayed on a dresser as much as they do in daily use.

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