Once dismissed as a weed among the wheat, the cornflower has made a triumphant return to the British countryside — and to this beautifully crafted mug. The Emma Bridgewater Cornflower ½ Pint Mug captures every detail of this beloved cottage-garden bloom: the vivid blue star-like florets, the dark, ink-tipped buds, and that unmistakeable wild charm, all rendered through a hand-applied litho pattern on warm creamware.
The cornflower has quite the history. Known in Victorian times as "bachelor's button", young men would tuck one into their lapel buttonhole as a signal that their heart was available. Whether or not you have romantic intentions, this mug carries a little of that whimsy — and makes a wonderfully characterful gift for a gardener, a wildflower lover, or anyone who appreciates the quietly beautiful things in life.
Handcrafted in Staffordshire from 100% English earthenware, it's a piece of heritage pottery made for everyday joy.
