Maryport coaster is by North East artist Emily Ward. Created from original art, it is printed and hand pressed locally in her studio near Newcastle.
The 19th century iron lighthouse stands proud at the end of the South pier under a sky filled with hints of pink and lilac.
The small mountains on the far side of the Solway Firth can be seen through Emily's splashes of sea spray.
The art prints and gifts from the Maryport range can be seen here
