Tamar and Brunel Bridges 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 Ward’s bone china cup captures the Tamar crossing as a lively and harmonious blend of landscape and engineering, with the Royal Albert Bridge and the Tamar Bridge forming the heart of the scene.
The sky stretches wide in soft washes of blue and lilac, gently speckled to create a sense of light, air, and movement.
The river curves calmly through the composition, reflecting cool tones that contrast with the warmer colours of the town rising along the banks.
In the foreground, tall grasses and wildflowers bloom in layers of pinks, yellows, greens, and purples, their loose, expressive marks adding texture and energy and drawing the eye toward the bridges beyond.

Tamar and Brunel Bridges
The Royal Albert Bridge and the Tamar Bridge
stand alongside one another at Saltash, spanning the River Tamar between Devon and Cornwall.
Completed in 1859, the Royal Albert Bridge was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and is noted for its graceful iron arches that carry the railway across the river. The Tamar Bridge, opened in 1961, provides a road crossing and features a suspension design that reflects mid-20th-century engineering.
Together, these two structures create a striking contrast between historic and modern design, forming an iconic landmark and important transport link between the two counties.
