Collection in Focus: Stunning Silver Birch Glassware
We’re delving into Emma’s most popular designer glassware collection for a closer look at this elegant design. Silver Birch first launched in 2021 and has been a firm fan-favourite ever since. Learn more about what makes this decorative glassware collection really so special in the journal post below.
Delicate Designer Glassware
Silver Birch trees have a real understated elegance. The soft, heart shaped leaves and entwining branches is what first drew Emma to them. Working in ink and paint, Emma brought this ethereal glassware design to life in her studio in England.
When I’m trying to figure out how designs will work on different glass shapes, I play with compositions and mock them up until I’m happy. I don’t like pencils too much so once I’ve sketched a little I prefer to get in with my paintbrush for the detail. | Emma
What makes the Silver Birch Collection that extra bit special is that the pattern on each glass shape is subtly different. On the beautifully decorative wine decanter, Emma designed an abundance of birch leaves cascading from a branch running across around the glass. Whereas for the tactile ‘plant pot’ shaped tumblers minimalism is key, with a delicate spray of leaves being just right. Emma’s designer considerations is what gives her glassware collections real balance and appeal.
Silver Birch Symbolism
Although, Silver Birches have been doted for millennia too; Celtic mythology holds them as the most sacred tree of new beginnings, whilst other northern cultures link them with goddesses of love. Giving or receiving a piece of Silver Birch glassware for a special occasion (or even just owning some) suddenly feels even more special.
Many people still have strong affinities with Silver Birches today. We meet so many customers with sentimental trees in their gardens or namesake houses, and who have personal connections to these beautiful trees. With this in mind, Emma Britton Silver Birch glassware makes a unique ‘silver’ wedding anniversary gift choice, for those who want to mark the occasion with a spin on the traditional 25th symbol.
