Hornsea Pottery (E Yorks & Lancaster)

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

Hornsea?

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

Good morning all,




I purchased this vase yesterday, from a charity shop

It is 8" tall - a pale green background with darker green specks - also appears to be dimpled in places

I would simply like to know the name of the design or the range it came from, and the year of manufacture?

It has a raised stamped makers mark on the base in white - it simply reads Hornsea England

Pictures of said item attached

Any help appreciated, I have been unable to find it on an internet search

Regards, Lorna

This was some of the later stuff they produced before they disappeared altogether.
It was produced after the Hornsea book was published in 1989, so is not included.
This shape was used for other decorations as I remember. It will have a name, but
I'm not sure what it is at the moment.

Its such a shame they ended up making some of this stuff - some of John Clappisons stuff is just so good and pretty pricey at the moment!

Small 6cm cat, very 1960s style.
Only mark on base is cost -3/3
Any idea on a maker or is it a “foreign” label one?

One of a graduated set of 5.

Great - really helpful. And I’ve seen there’s unusual pieces like arctic foxes by Marion Campbell to look out for too!
Thank you. Ben

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?

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.
