Re: Hornsea Pottery
[quote="vanmann"]Any ideas please on designer or pattern name on this 5 3/4 inch tall vase. Impressed pattern no 502, Mark dates to 1956-62. Thanks John
Someone else might know the designer but they are clased as multicouloured slip ware vases (4 in the series) 1961
Produced for a very short time only and quite hard to find nowadays

John Clappison (27 June 1937 - 21 February 2013)
http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/opinion/obituaries/article3714841.ece
John was responsible for several of the most memorable 20th Century ceramic designs, he will be sadly missed

For those interested I have written an obituary for John Clappison in the Guardian, but not sure when it will be published

Its the homestead range 1965 and it is a vinegar bottle The scarcer one is the light blue flames on a dark blue background
They were made by painting hot liquid wax in the shape of the flames onto a once fired pot Once cool it was sprayed with a brown oxide glaze and fired again This left the wax areas, the flames, unglazed once the wax had melted. It was then sprayed with the secondary honey glaze which when glost fired the honey glaze adhered to the unglazed areas but not the primary glaze The interior glaze was done at this time as well
I dont know the designer sorry
The Homestead range was
301 eggcup
302 salt & pepper
303 mustard pot lidded
305 vinegar bottle
306 sugar bowl
307 preserve pot lidded
308 cream jug
309 rectangular butter dish lidded
310 cheese dish and lid
there was no 304 in this range and to confuse the issue more all the numbers have been used in other earlier ranges
Thanks

Re: Hornsea Pottery
Little basalt black polar bear, designed by Marion Campbell for Hornsea and produced 1956/1957
A little over 3" tall. Unmarked.
I've seen some examples referred to as seals, but this one definitely has paws with pads, so it's a polar bear.

Re: Hornsea Pottery
I think that since soapstone polar bears can be white, grey, green, black that maybe the artist felt some 'license' in doing a black one.

I've not seen one of these posted so I thought you might like it, although it is an acquired taste sort of thing.....

Hornsea pin dishes (although looks like someone's been using them under their pot plants). From the Lancaster Vitramic, Muramic range

Nice, one of the rarer "World's best" mugs designed by john Clappison. Not had that one before.
Signed John Clappison pieces
John Clappison did sign some pieces while at Hornsea pottery.
These 2 items are from the "glazed stoneware" range 1963.
My "tall vase" (1961) is also signed, If I could only find it!

a couple of years ago.

Re: Hornsea Pottery
