Smeaton's Tower ceramic tile with easel is by North East artist Emily Ward. The ceramic tile has been created from original artwork by Emily and is hand pressed locally in her art studio.
Emily Ward's art ceramic tile depicts Smeaton’s Tower in a bright, uplifting coastal scene filled with texture and colour.
The sky is layered with soft blues and scattered light marks, giving it a fresh, airy atmosphere. Rising prominently from the landscape, the lighthouse is painted in strong red and white stripes, standing out clearly against the sky.
The foreground is alive with wildflowers, splashed across Emily’s art gift in lively pinks, yellows, and greens, adding a sense of summer.
In the distance, Plymouth Sound lies calm and expansive, its muted blues and greens leading the eye toward low hills on the horizon and completing the tranquil seaside setting.

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.
