The Cobb at Lyme Regis Bone China Cup

The Cobb at Lyme Regis Bone China Cup

The Cobb at Lyme Regis 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 cup of The Cobb unfolds beneath a sky tinged with gentle shades of blush, salmon, and soft amber, where light seems to linger in the clouds as the sun lowers toward the horizon.

These warm tones spill into the sea, tinting the water with delicate pinks and golds that shimmer quietly across its surface.

The curve of the stone harbour, textured and timeworn, stretches outward in subdued hues of brown and terracotta, leading toward the small wooden hut that rests near the water’s edge. Boats are moored nearby, their forms simple and still, adding a quiet presence to the scene.

The Cobb at Lyme Regis

The Cobb at Lyme Regis is a historic stone harbour wall in Lyme Regis, on England’s Jurassic Coast. Curving gracefully into the English Channel, the structure has protected the town’s boats for centuries and has become one of Dorset’s most iconic landmarks.

Originally constructed in the 13th century and rebuilt several times after storm damage, the Cobb is made of massive limestone blocks and features a distinctive rounded shape that helps break the force of the sea. It is not only important for maritime history but also famous in literature, notably appearing in Persuasion by Jane Austen, where a dramatic scene takes place along its walkway.

Today, The Cobb remains a popular spot for visitors, offering scenic views, opportunities for fishing and photography, and a powerful reminder of Lyme Regis’s long connection to the sea.
