The Needles Lighthouse Bone China Cup is from original art by Emily Ward a local North East artist. All bone china cups are printed and hand pressed in Emily's art studio.
Emily’s painting of The Needles Lighthouse captures the power of the sea and the steadfast presence of the lighthouse. The lighthouse base has hints of yellow which give the lighthouse tower a weatherred and sea-beaten look.
The rough angular shapes of the jagged chalk stacks of the Needles contrast with the cylindrical style of the lighthouse.
Emily’s sky is painted in a range of blues with wispy clouds that add texture and atmosphere to this art bone china cup.
