My obsession with ENGLISH POTTERY: EMMA BRIDGEWATER & BURLEIGH in Stoke on Trent

Published 2022-08-02
My obsession with ENGLISH POTTERY: EMMA BRIDGEWATER & BURLEIGH in Stoke-on-Trent// Happy Tuesday, We hope you're very well! We had to switch a video (our last video from Portsmouth will be posted next week!) so today Kirsten shares her obsession with English pottery, particularly Burleigh Pottery (but also Emma Bridgewater, Spode, Wedgwood etc.). If you have been following us for a while, you know :) Should you be new to our channel and have a passion for English pottery and china, you will love this video.

Joerg and I started buying beautiful Burleigh pottery once we moved to the UK although I've been loving it for more than 20 years. Not living too far from the Stoke-on-Trent potteries, we have easy access to the factory shops and really love it. We start our day with a scrumptuous breakfast at Emma Bridgewater. After that, we check out the Emma Bridgewater factory to buy some fun items that will be the perfect addition to our home. The Burleigh factory shop is only about a 10 minute drive from Emma Bridgewater and I think it was our 5th time there. We visit a couple of times a year as you can always get such great deals. Hope you enjoy! Kirsten & Joerg xx

P.S. Currently enjoying a Darjeeling tea from a Burleigh mug :)

  • My mother was a painter of pottery for one of the potteries in Burslem Stoke on Trent in the 1950’s!
  • I love this couple ! They are so great together. She best be good to that guy. He’s a keeper and so adorable.
  • I'm from near the Potteries... my mum is from the Potteries and worked as a paintress in the industry! This makes me so proud ❤
  • Bless his heart, Kirsten. Feed him and he will follow you anywhere happily! :) Stoke on Trent is on my bucket list!!
  • Oh my word! The pottery factory is just wonderful I love the blue/white and the pink/white dishes,bowls,cups/saucers and teapots well actually I loved everything in there. Thank you for taking us shopping with you guys. Have a great week. ☕️🫖🍪

    TFS I no longer drive so getting to tag along with you and your sweet hubby was a delight. Many blessings🙏& much love💕 from California 🌴☀️🌴☀️🌴☀️
  • @almasilva9627
    I love, love this video! I really liked the polka dots, hearts, and strawberry patterns, but the blue regal peacock and the blue calico are my absolute favorites! So many choices! What a wonderful way to spend a day! Thank you for sharing this special time with us! ❤️❤️
  • @betzie2
    Such a wonderful visit with you! Loved seeing the pottery! It was all beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
  • @jennyB_In_KC
    I just found your channel, quite by accident! I LOOOOOVE it! Being an American of German ancestry and an Anglophile everything you cover is right up my alley!!! Oh! How I wish I could visit you and enjoy a cuppa and see your world & have you here to the middle of the USA in Kansas City! Of allll the YouTube channels I subscribe to, yours is my absolute favorite! xxx
  • Oh such beautiful pottery! I can see why you're obsessed! And for them to personalize it, is just a bonus! I would have to get some of each color! 🤗 🦋
  • @HannaARTzink
    I love Eng pottery too, but i am hopeless sucker for the old patterns... You people are so much fun, you are delicate and full of imagination.
  • @lisam5576
    I flipping love when you two go shopping for pottery!
  • @laurafigiel8119
    I would highly recommend the factory tour at EB too! It was so inspiring. The decorating studio have pre designed sponges so you really don't need to be that creative! I think you'd enjoy their Christmas carol service in the winter. Also the Emma Bridgewater mugs are quite tough to clean but I find soaking with bicarb and water and then scrub with a toothbrush for all of the weird corners gets them back to sparkling!
  • Jörg is similar to my husband. If there is a chance to have a nice breakfast or lunch, he cooperates.. 🍛 You are so sweet together, both of you have a character and you can complete each other. Its so nice to see this By the way.. Im also absolutely fan of english china especially the classic styles. Although the mix of the colours was nice too, I also would have chosen the same colour (soup bowl) as a 'safe way'😄 I didnt know that 'plum' will be discontinued. Its sad. Im going to buy a couple of items in this colour. Viel Spaß Euch mit diesen schönen Geschirr!
  • You two have very good taste and buy the bestest pieces. I'm gonna look forward to seeing you use the Christmas Teapot. However, I lost my heart to Black Regal Peacock, from you bought the first tea cups and saucers. Every time you show them, I admire every piece. The flower vase is gorgeous. You know we luv shopping with you....Thank you for taking us along. 🌹
  • I love that you enjoy your things EVERYDAY and do not save them for a special occasion. Why not enjoy them if they bring you a bit of joy each day. Thank you for the reminder!
  • @christinamo7
    oh Kirsten - this video was FOR ME. :-) I love English Pottery - French dishes - the German dishes you showed us last winter - old china....... love love love! How nice it is to see the original home place of some of my beloved Burleigh pieces <3
  • @meri8746
    “You collect,” Joerg. 😂😂 Loved viewing all the collections. 💕
  • @fatimaa57946
    I loved the ceramics you bought, very good taste and great quality too. With these pieces any meal is worthy of a monarchy!
  • @tinasuarez117
    ❤️ I Love ALL this pottery. I have loved polka dots all my life. When I saw the Mr & Mrs Weasley teapot, I said to myself I would have to buy that one as I'm a huge HP fan. Everything you guys bought was beautiful!
