Leeds Castle Bone China Cup

Leeds Castle Bone China Cup

Leeds Castle bone china cup has been designed from original artwork by Emily Ward. All cups are printed and hand pressed in Emily's studio in the North East.

Emily’s art ceramic cup of Leeds Castle is rendered in a bright style filled with lively colour and texture. The castle itself glows in warm shades of golden sandstone, honey, and soft amber, catching the light as it rises above the calm water that mirrors its walls and towers.

Surrounding the castle is a tranquil moat reflecting gentle blues and greens, giving the scene a peaceful atmosphere.

The sky is a clear, luminous blue, softly blended with pale tones that suggest a bright spring day. The entire scene is sprinkled with playful dots of colour, pinks, yellows, whites, and blues which create a joyful feel to this art gift.

In the foreground, a vibrant meadow bursts with wildflowers in shades of pink, white, yellow, and lavender, their tall green stems and delicate petals forming a colourful tapestry that frames the castle beautifully.

Leeds Castle

Leeds Castle is a historic castle located near Maidstone in Kent, set on islands within a tranquil lake formed by the River Len. Often described as “the loveliest castle in the world,” it was originally built in 1119 as a Norman stronghold by Robert de Crevecoeur, though the site had earlier Saxon origins.

In the 13th century, it became a royal residence for King Edward I and later served as a palace for six medieval queens. Over the centuries, the castle evolved from a defensive fortress into an elegant country residence, particularly after extensive renovations in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Surrounded by sweeping parkland and formal gardens, Leeds Castle combines medieval architecture with picturesque natural beauty, reflecting nearly nine centuries of English history.
