Smeaton's Tower Pendant Decoration

Smeaton's Tower Hanging Pendant Decoration

Smeaton's Tower ceramic pendant has been created from original artwork by North East artist Emily Ward. This lovely hanging decoration has been hand pressed locally in her studio near Newcastle.

Emily’s art ceramic pendant portrays Smeaton’s Tower in a vivid and expressive style, full of colour. The sky is painted in soft yet lively shades of blue, flecked with light tones that give it a breezy feel.

The lighthouse stands tall and striking, its bold red and white bands clearly defined and glowing against the sky. In the foreground, a field of wildflowers spreads across the scene in vibrant pinks, yellows, greens, and purples, creating a rich, textured carpet that brings warmth to this art gift.

Beyond the flowers, Plymouth Sound stretches calmly into the distance in gentle blues and greens, with low hills on the horizon completing a peaceful coastal view that balances colour, structure, and tranquillity.

Smeaton's Tower

Smeaton’s Tower is one of Plymouth’s most distinctive landmarks, standing prominently on the Hoe overlooking Plymouth Sound. Designed by civil engineer John Smeaton and completed in 1759, the tower was originally built on the hazardous Eddystone Rocks to warn ships away from danger.

At around 72 feet tall, its solid granite structure was revolutionary for its time, using interlocking stonework to resist the force of the sea. After being replaced by a newer lighthouse, the tower was dismantled and re-erected on Plymouth Hoe, where it remains today.

While it no longer functions as a working lighthouse, it is preserved as a historic monument and popular viewpoint, celebrated for its lasting contribution to maritime safety and engineering design.
