Poppies & Pinks Medium Dinner Plate, 8.5 Inch
Hot Cross Buns 1/2 Pint Mug
How do you like your hot cross buns? Cold or toasted? With butter or jam? For breakfast or afternoon tea? Whatever your preference, we think a way to enjoy them even more is with a tea or coffee at the same time in a Hot Cross Buns 1/2 Pint Mug.
Every single hot cross bun on this Easter mug has been decorated by hand; you can almost smell the cinnamon, raisins and candied peel!
Egg Hunt Medium Pasta Bowl
Our Egg Hunt Medium Pasta Bowl is a bright new Easter pattern. As the name suggests, you can use the bowl for pasta, of course, but it also has many other uses.
At breakfast time, fill one of these Egg Hunt bowls in the middle of the table with boiled eggs for everyone to help themselves to (have you spotted our egg cups in Polka Dot and Mini Eggs patterns?). Or set the kitchen table with these as pudding bowls and serve up hot cross bun pudding and creamy custard.
As the name suggests, these bowls are also good for everyone to keep all their egg hunt treats in one easy place!
Easter Toast Large Dinner Plate, 10.5 Inch
Springtime has such a joyful fresh spirit: the daffodils are nodding happily, the sun is waking up from its winter lull and we can look forward to longer days at last. Easter is a time to celebrate newness and optimism – summed up perfectly by our Easter Toast Large Dinner Plate, 10.5 Inch, with its happy wording and pastel palette.
Add some of these large dinner plates to pieces in other patterns by us that you’ve collected over the years. Or start your own Emma Bridgewater collection with one of these hand-crafted, hand-decorated plates as a serving dish for Easter Sunday – after all, it toasts
the beginning of new things.
Oh the delight of an Easter table, set with riotously patterned pottery and scatter mini chocolate eggs all over (hands up who can’t stop eating mini eggs once they’ve started!?). Fill vases with (wild!) flowers fresh from the garden – please.
Prepare for the Easter weekend with our table setting ideas and decoration inspiration below.
How To Set An Easter Table
An Easter table is a joy to behold as new, fresh greens mix with garish yellows and sugary pastel tones. Start with a crisp, clean tablecloth then send a jolly Easter runner down the centre.
Give pride of place to regal hen-on-nest, right in the centre of the table, her broody feathers protecting all manner of sugar mice and chocolate eggs hidden beneath.
Decorations and Springtime touches
Now it is time for miniature arrangements- and lots of them- with tiny foil-wrapped eggs and sweet Easter chicks and bunnies tucked in between. Think clusters of primroses, pots of pansies and small jugs and jars filled with daffodils, their stems cut short so that their sunny heads can loll over the rims. Add in a few Spanish bluebells if you have any that have bullied their way into your garden (but remember never to pick the more delicate native variety, which are protected). Pink hyacinths from the local florist will add another candy colour pop.
Continue to build up your table by nestling in some tin eggs, filled with chocolate treats and tightly sealed, one for each child to take away and attempt to open, and dot egg cups about, filled with decorated chicken eggs (although Cream Eggs are a good substitute if you don’t fancy the palaver). Fill small bowls with sugared almonds and add a sprinkling of Smarties. New this year are our Easter crackers which can be personalised as place settings and filled with treats of your choice.
As the smell of roast lamb, and the chatter of friends and family fills the kitchen, this is a time to remember all of the potential good in the world, and to stretch forward, full of hope, into the season ahead.
