Hornsea Pottery (E Yorks & Lancaster)

a recent car-boot sale find £2.50 !

Uncle Tom Cobleigh design, absolute bargain for £2.50, PotteryHunter.

Any idea on name and date on this Hornsea jar.
Can’t see others like it.

Look for Gourmet.

Its called Rondelay

Thank you Janet and Denby. It is called Gourmet but not very popular I don’t think - not many out there. Rondelay seems to be a Royal Doulton pattern.

It is called Roundalay (1967), sorry, I spelt it wrong from memory!

It is similar to Gourmet, (1963-5), but Gourmet had white stripes, and
there were no large storage jars in the range.

Roundalay was done in Yellow, Blue and Orange, and was sold exclusively
through Boots the chemist.

Denby, you are a goldmine.
And Googling this I’ve just realised I sold a Hornsea pottery piggy bank for a pound or two recently. Plenty to learn.

Hi all...is this little Hornsea pot ?...70's and any idea of name..and would you call it a pot



THANKS IN ADVANCE

From the "modern slipware" range - 1959, Preserve jar with lid.
There should be a yellow lid with a little loop handle.

Could anyone tell me a bit more about this design by Lancaster Vitramic. I could not find anything about it anywhere.
Thank you.

From the Roundel/Tundra range of cylidrical vases from 1980.
Various sizes were made, using the "contrast" brown stoneware clay.
All fairly rare, the roundel version had concentric moulded rings.

Thank you Denbydump for the insight into the piece.

Small laced boot with moulded tortoise (1951).

Rabbit cruets (1952/3).

Well if you don't think the market has changed in the last year then check out how many Hornsea Pottery 'Aphrodite' vase have been sold on eBay in the last three months on eBay and how many are for sale on eBay right now

My "repro" set of 3. Made at Lancaster.

I always wondered about them, I noticed the originals sell for more but didn't know about Lancaster

??? Lancaster

Hornsea pottery was sloshed with money to set up a satelite pottery on a
greenfield site near Lancaster to provide local employment.
No pottery history, and a lack of serious investment led to it's demise,
It is now the rat infested GB antiques centre.
Howver they did produce award winning tableware, like Contrast, by John Clappison,
examples in the V & A.
On this very page we have Lancaster examples.
Many 60s designs were re-done using "vitramic" stoneware, including the
Aphrodite vases.

The rumour is the hardcore under the car park outside what was the pottery,
is all the smashed failures of the contrast tableware before they got it right.

Yesterday's society meeting in Lincolnshire, the first for 2 years!
