Since the spaniel gained royal favour with King Charles II, it has been a quintessentially British dog breed. This lovely mug features a cocker spaniel design and would make a wonderful gift for a dog lover. Emma Bridgewater is a family business which proudly contributes to Staffordshire's heritage. Emma and her husband, Matthew Rice, design every piece of pottery themselves – inspired by their home, their children and even their chickens! All their pottery is made by hand in a Victorian factory in Stoke-on-Trent, keeping the area's traditional skills alive and ensuring that each piece has a real integrity. Every mug, bowl, plate and jug has its own, very English, personality – full of charm and cheerfulness.
