Emma Bridgewater Blues The patterns may vary but the gorgeous cobalt blue, evocative of deepening evening twilight, unifies the collections in the  Emma Bridgewater  range of  Blues . Reminiscent of the blue found in antique oriental pottery, the sponge application of the colour on these items perfectly demonstrates the slightly uneven tone that is a happy by-product of this method. 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.
