There is something quietly joyful about a mug that makes you pause before you pour. The Emma Bridgewater Pears ½ Pint Mug does exactly that — its hand-sponged pears rendered in the freshest of greens, each one slightly imperfect in the way that only handmade things can be.

Crafted from 100% English earthenware at the Emma Bridgewater pottery in Stoke-on-Trent, this is a piece with genuine provenance. A morning ritual made more considered. A gift that will be reached for, again and again.
