The Ribblehead Express 18/16 Vase

Towering above the sweeping fells of the Yorkshire Dales, Ribblehead Viaduct is one of Britain's most iconic railway landmarks. With its majestic 24 stone arches spanning the wild moorland, this remarkable structure has captivated visitors for generations. Built in the 1870s as part of the historic Settle–Carlisle Railway, it stands as an enduring testament to Victorian engineering, ambition and craftsmanship.

To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the first passenger train crossing the viaduct in 1876, Emma has created an evocative prestige vase celebrating the splendour of this extraordinary landmark.

At the heart of the design, a beautifully illustrated vintage steam locomotive, affectionately named the Ribblehead Express, steams across the famous arches, its illuminated carriages glowing against the night sky, capturing the romance of Britain’s great railway journeys. Above, majestic white owls glide silently overhead, adding an air of mystery and enchantment to this iconic landscape. Their ghostly presence evokes the timeless wonder that Ribblehead inspires.

Rich in history, atmosphere and artistry, this commemorative design pays tribute to one of Britain's greatest engineering achievements. It is a portrait not only of Ribblehead Viaduct itself, but also of a landscape where nature and human endeavour exist in perfect harmony.

Today, Ribblehead Viaduct remains a cherished symbol of Britain's railway heritage, drawing visitors from around the world to admire its breathtaking architecture and the spectacular scenery of the Yorkshire Dales.
