Nice, one of the rarer "World's best" mugs designed by john Clappison. Not had that one before.

The  "Cordon" cruet is correctly shown here by Tigerchips
(lower down the page) but I don't think that this design is
specifically mentioned anywhere in the book.

The book was done in 1998, and so much info has come to light
since. There are quite a few errors which we mostly know about
now. There was talk of a new book, as there are none left now,
but just a small volume of corrections and new information would
probably be a welcome addition.

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 bit of a cheat I know, but John did sign this fish plaque for me
a couple of years ago.

Have I seen this example...don't think so...and its got its label(which is nice)

Not a decoration I can recall on a B4 mould dish.

The mystery of the cruets is finally solved. After consulting members at today's
collector's meeting I have the info.

On this page

The first cruet shown by WARETIGO in in fact called "ONION"

The second cruet shown by TIGERCHIPS is the real "CORDON"

The book is incorrect, all references to "Cordon" should be changed to "Onion".
As for the real "Cordon", neither the shape nor decoration, was included in the book .

Thanks DD I have made the correction

John Clappison Elephant mug from the mid 1970s.

Too expensive for me so took photos instead.
World's Best Grandma and World's Best Grandpa -

Some of the rarer WB mugs I photographed for your delectation at today's
Hornsea collector's meeting. All by John Clappison.

Some of my "IMPACT" (1964/65) collection, including a variant and a trial.

So possibly not making much of a profit on it.

i've a few ..and never make any money on them

They must have been made in huge quantities, so are relatively common, though
there are some less common variations and colourways, as I remember.

Three Hornsea ashtrays.





The two round ashtrays have the same backstamp, but the smaller one is numbered 263 and the bigger one 235.
(NB. One I posted earlier on the thread, with black instead of blue colour scheme, is numbered 262 - https://www.20thcenturyforum.com/t186p105-hornsea-pottery#88263)

Hornsea salt & pepper. Rondel pattern by John Clappison 1971

John Clappison designed jam pot featuring birds.
1974, I think.

these designs are really iconic, love them
