Second RHS Snowdrop Glassware Collection with pretty new pieces

9th October 2022

RHS Snowdrop Glassware - Emma Britton Decorative Glass Designer- RHS Gifts

RHS gifts are always a beautiful choice to give and receive, or treat yourself too. So I’m delighted that the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) re-commissioned me to create more glassware in my bestselling Snowdrop pattern  and add some interesting new shapes to their exclusive collection. Available in their Garden Shops and to buy online.

There are lots of pretty additions in this much loved design and favourites from the first collection, available now in time for Christmas. Also a great January birthday present. From £10, find out all about the collection below.

I hope when people drink from the Snowdrop glassware it reminds them of the first signs of spring.

About the Snowdrop Collection

The little white heads of snowdrops are the first signs that winter is heading in to spring, often emerging through the snow and that simple combination of white and green is very fresh and invigorating. They are beautiful little flowers.

Following the success of my first snowdrop collection for the RHS last year, I am really excited to be adding to the range a red wine glass, vase, champagne coupe, and two coloured tumblers, green and blue. These exclusive RHS gifts in new designs are available now, in plenty of time for snowdrop season.

Design Details

The pattern for this RHS exclusive glassware collection started life as a painting so that I could capture the fluidity and daintiness of snowdrops, and then translate and develop the design to work on the glass shapes. Snowdrops grow in clumps and the beauty of glassware is that enabled me to capture that effect, giving the illusion of many more snowdrops. I had this very much in mind when creating this new collection.

The shade of the etch also lends itself to the white of a snowdrop head, so I designed them to be solid in colour to reflect their simplicity. I love that the look is so true to the natural form of these gorgeous flowers.

Favourite shapes in Snowdrop Glassware back for 2022

The Snowdrop Flute, White Wine Glass, Carafe, Tumbler and Hi-ball are back for 2022. If you missed out on these shapes last year in my best selling Snowdrop pattern, here’s your chance to snap them up again.
