Emma Bridgewater is a British ceramic designer and businesswoman. She set up her pottery business in 1985 in Stoke-on-Trent, when many other manufacturers in the city were either closing down or going overseas. Her pottery is instantly recognizable, decorated with polka dots, stars, hearts or elegant lettering using 19th century sponge-printing techniques.

It is an unlikely career for someone who studied English at University. Together with her husband, illustrator Matthew Rice, Emma Bridgewater has played a part in keeping the pottery tradition alive in Stoke-on-Trent. The factory also now hosts an annual literary festival.

She was awarded a CBE in 2013 for services to industry.



艾玛-布里奇沃特是一位英国陶瓷设计师和商人。她于1985年在特伦特河畔斯托克市建立了自己的陶器业务，当时该市的许多其他制造商要么倒闭，要么走向海外。她的陶器一目了然，用波尔卡圆点、星星、心形或19世纪海绵印刷技术的优雅字母装饰。

对于在大学学习英语的人来说，这是一个不太可能的职业。艾玛-布里奇沃特与她的丈夫、插画家马修-赖斯一起，在保持特伦特河畔斯托克的陶器传统方面发挥了作用。该工厂现在还主办了一个年度文学节。

由于对工业的贡献，她于2013年被授予CBE勋章。
