Emma Bridgewater has two shops in London as well as a outlet located at the company's factory in Stoke-on-Trent. == History == The company was founded by Emma Bridgewater in 1985, when she was looking for a birthday present for her mother. Wanting to buy a cup and saucer but being unable to find any she liked, Emma created her own. Drawing four shapes, a mug, a bowl, a jug and a dish, samples were created in Stoke-on-Trent.〔 〕 Matthew, Emma's husband, also designs for Emma Bridgewater. He indulges his passion for birdlife in the Birds range. In its first year the company had a turnover of around £30,000. By 2009 this had increased to almost £8 million,〔 and £11 million in 2010, employing 180 people. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Emma Bridgewater」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
