Eastgate Pottery, Withernsea (E. Yorks).

Hi,
I thought this salt pepper set were by Hornsea but I cannot find anything to confirm. I am sure this is the place to find out.
Thanks.

Not an expert on Hornsea Pottery but I suspect that it might have had a ceramic dish/stand that would have been marked. Agree with dan..

Can find nothing that matchs this pattern in any literature that I have on Hornsea
You might like to try midwinter or one of the meakins

Definately not Midwinter , i am almost certain it is Hornsea i think it is normally or should i say more commonly seen in yellow and black , thats if my memory serves me well .

It's Hornsea by John Clappison.

Here is a variation of the same design, in yellow and black:

Brilliant, I thought we would get there in the end. It just had to be.
Many Thanks to everyone.

I still cant find the s& p set but You are correct the design is called fish eye
The vase shown is from the imprest range 64-66 but this only had vases and plant pots
It would appear they have used this design in other ranges I will have a look further

Thanks.

I think it might be Eastgate pottery.

It often does Dan, they sold them a lot of the moulds, and the fish-eye design
often turns up on eastgate items, but I will confirm at a collectors meeting in Dec.

Asked the cruet expert at the Hornsea collector's meeting today.

This shape is Eastgate, not Hornsea, these cruets are known, with fish-eyes,
but not seen in this colourway.

It could therefore possibly be a Hornsea trial, which never went into production,
and the moulds then sold on to Eastgate.

Are these a 60s 70s design or something more modern?
No mark. Reminds me of Hornsea.
Colour is a soft brown colour on the inset design.
Thank you.

they are by Eastgate, who did use many hornsea moulds

Thank you Denby - majorly helpful.

I’ve just seen you’ve been through the same thing with cruets in a different colour back in 2013/2014. You were way quicker this time DD. Brilliant.
