Hornsea Pottery (E Yorks & Lancaster)

Hi,
Can anyone identify the name for this particular Clappison design please?

Thanks,
Bryn

Hi Bryn, your pepper pot is part of a cruet set consisting of a salt, pepper, lidded mustard pot and a matching dish for them all to sit on. It's a design by John Clappison called 'Alpine' and dates from 1960.

Cruet set circa 1960.

Yellow & white 'Summit' cruet set & sugar sifter (it also came in black & white, red & white) and dates from 1960-65.

More slipware circa 1955.

Pair of 'Impact' vases, circa 1963.

'Coastline' vase circa 1955. Shape by John Clappison, decoration by Colin Rawson.

I haven't been able to find out the range that this Hornsea vase came from but looking at the style and colour of the infilled glazed decoration it dates from the early to mid 1960s. Pattern number is 422. If anyone knows for sure the range name please let me know.

Any idea of the pattern name, and was this a Clappison design?

Hi Davee, yes it's a John Clappison design - a Specimen Vase (shape 389) designed in August 1960 and in production in 1961 - the flower patterns were inlaid in charcoal, terracotta and turquoise glazes (the photo link froze so I can't see the colour very well but I think yours is terracotta).

The patterns inlaid in charcoal with a maroon glaze inside.

Hi,
This the first of 2 pieces of hornsea that I picked up over the weekend, i am assuming that the pattern came from the John Clappison era but I don't recognise the design. Can you help please?

Thanks,
Bryn

Hello again,
This is a piece of Hornsea slipware that I purchased recently. Is the pattern familiar to anyone please?

Thanks again,
Bryn

Hi Bryn, they don't, as far as I know, have individual names for the different designs that the Slipware range came in - they were referred to by the shape. Your dish is from the same range as the two slipware dishes I've posted at the top of page 2 of the Hornsea thread (click the link below).

I don't know the pattern name for your set - they're not shown in any of my books or archives however they're definitely from the 1971 Geometric Cruet range decorated with various different designs - most by John Clappison and a couple by Alan Luckham.

Hope that helps.
