This one to be precise

From the Hornsea book, though the info may be a little out of date now;

Modelled by John Clappison and Alan Luckham, 1962/3, a figure in 2 pieces, which
could be adapted into a lamp base, a plant pot, or an ash tray, by altering the top
of the head. Maybe only a dozen were produced.

John Clappison's son joined the forum years ago and provided some inside info,it's probably still on this thread somewhere

It's unmarked. Wondered if it might be Scandinavian.

This is the "ONION" cruet. The book is incorrect with "CORDON".
The correct "Cordon" cruet is shown near the bottom of page 1 of the thread.

Found these at the boot sale last week.

Never seen that one, very rare, possibly by John Clappison.

Hornsea?

It's Hornsea, designed by Marion Campbell, the Lancaster brown clay version .

Hi

Not to my taste at all is this large Hornsea bowl. Approximately 25 by 11.5 cm and does anyone know the range name at all?

I'm not surprised that there are not many around :0)

I am with you - this might be quite a rare one for not very good reasons!

From memory i think the range is called 'Fresco'.

This was produced during one of many re-incarnations of the pottery,
well after the publication of the book.
If you don't get the info in the meantime, and wait until the end of the
month, I will be at the hornsea collector's meeting, and can get the info.

Nice one cheers DD - Commission available if you can find the one buyer in the country who would want it LOL

Right, I now have the info.
It is called "Fresco", from the mid to late 1990s, and designed by Robin Pavitt.

A selection of items on the auction table at yesterday's society meeting.

A recent auction purchase by one lucky society member.
A one-off trial brown version of the "bust of a young girl" lamp.
There are also a few subtle differences to the finished white version.

Designed by John Clappison 1964/5,
Modelled by Alan Luckham,
Glazed by Mike Walker,
Finished by John Clappison.

I love this little dish! Anyone know who might have made it?

Hornsea slipware

some similar are shown it the bottom of the page here:

Thanks DD. D'you think its 1950s or thereabouts? And do you know if it's normal for it not to be marked?

1954-1957. It may well be marked, H in a circle impressed, though not clearly.

Thanks, That little blob part is so glaze-filled that its raised, rather than indented, so impossible to decipher.

Some "Home decor" by John Clappison, 1959-62, Including the hard to find
"mushroom vase".

Fish eye decor planter from the imprest range (John Clappison)

I just broke this whilst taking the plant out so if anyone has one that they are not using , please let me know

Here are two planters produced by John Clappison in 1976 only. They came in three sizes, this is the small and medium. As far as I am aware, this particular design does not have a name and is only seen on this plant pot.
