Smeaton's Tower 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 bone china cup presents Smeaton’s Tower as a joyful and atmospheric landmark set within a vibrant coastal landscape.
The sky is wide and luminous, painted in soft, swirling blues with scattered specks of light. The lighthouse rises confidently from the scene, its red and white bands bold and eye-catching, giving it a strong presence against the calm backdrop.
In the foreground, a meadow of wildflowers bursts with colour, layered in pinks, yellows, purples, and fresh greens, adding texture and warmth. Beyond the flowers, Plymouth Sound stretches out in gentle blues and greens, offering a peaceful view of the horizon.

Smeaton's Tower
Smeaton’s Tower is a well known historic landmark on Plymouth Hoe in Devon. It was first constructed in 1759 by the engineer John Smeaton on the Eddystone Rocks, where it played a crucial role in guiding ships safely through dangerous waters.
The granite tower rises to about 72 feet (22 metres) in height and was pioneering for its innovative stone construction, designed to withstand extreme sea conditions. In 1882, the lighthouse was carefully taken apart and rebuilt on Plymouth Hoe, preserving its structure and legacy.
Although it is no longer an operational lighthouse, Smeaton’s Tower
remains an important symbol of maritime history and engineering achievement
