New Glassware Collection available from Emma Britton Decorative Glass

I wrote this original Journal post in 2016, and since then I’ve been on a roll.  Emma Britton glassware is now decorated at the studio, available in a Silver Birch, Exotic Floral Crystal and Meadow design. As well as limited editions sometimes.  Read on for the inspiration behind my first Floral range of glassware, below. It was the glassware collection that started this side of the business. You can still get this design in my elegant Floral Carafe.

I am always working on new designs in the background and thinking of exciting product ideas, so watch this space. Head back to the top of our Journal for all our recent news and inspiration.

Looking back to Floral glassware

Emma Britton glassware was initially launched to complement my unique glass splashbacks,  and Floral was my very first design. The glasses were screen printed at that time in England (as I hadn’t yet bought decoration in house) with the distinctive Floral, Emma Britton Decorative Glass design, on each in an ‘etch effect’. Florals in the design included iris, lupins, and foxgloves. Many people invested in Floral as the perfect collection for entertaining, whether around the dining table, relaxed in the kitchen or cosily by the fire. There were flutes, wine glasses, hi balls, tumblers and a carafe.

Glassware to complement a splashback from my collection or to gift

My first Floral collection of glassware was designed to accompany my bestselling ‘Watercolour in Grey’ glass splashback, from the uniquely designed Maple Collection. Many of my clients kept asking for products to accompany their splashbacks, so I knew there was a demand for this. For people that don’t own a splashback, the glassware is and remains an opportunity to buy my designs as gifts, or as a personal treat. As popular as ever.

Crystal Glass Tumblers

At the same I bought Floral glassware to market, I exhibited at Top Drawer launching some reassuringly weighty, handmade crystal tumblers in four colours. Smoke, Plum, Turquoise and Amber (£10 each). Each illustrated with a handrawn, cool and quirky, Emma Britton tulip design applied in print to the glass. The result, a collection of sleek and contemporary glassware; available either in mixed or same colour boxed sets of two, or individually. The glasses are all designed and finished in the UK.
