Hi, all I have been reading some of the posts on this site with interest, so this is my first post as a member. I have 2 Ulrome Pottery figurines, I believe they were called "Negress" figures, and may have been made by Marion Campbell, but that is all I have been able to find out. I am not sure if these are rare designs as I have been unable to find any information on the web about these particular designs. I have added photos below, so if anyone could tell me more that would be great.

Ulrome is part of hornsea pottery
https://www.20thcenturyforum.com/t186p90-hornsea-pottery

It is getting rarer and you hardley see much about now
The paper stickers came off leaving the identification a bit vague as there were other people making matt black pieces

hope this helps

by **fuzzyedges** March 23rd 2012, 6:14 pm

there were 3 negress in the seris and a bambino (the one in the link above)

The bambino was mould No 563
Hands on hips No 566
Hands behind head (the missing one in your collection of negress) No 567
Hand on knee No 568

Bambino was also produced in matt white

As well as Hornsea collectors, art deco collectors look out for these and the animals Marion made

Thanks for the info Excellent

Very helpful to know, these are stamped with the Ulrome Shield, which I understand has often washed off long ago, so I guess we are lucky. At the moment, I am in two minds whether to keep them or sell them, as I didn't know what they were until someone said they were a collectors item the other day. We tried taking them to the Hornsea Museum to find out more today but it is closed until Easter.

We went to the Hornsea Museum the other day and it is well worth a visit for the pottery collection alone. It is really well laid out to show the development of the pottery, and some of the designers too Happy

Any idea please on the pattern and designer for this Hornsea bowl? Backstamp dates to 1956-62 but I can't trace this pattern, impressed no. 603. Any thoughts welcome John

The pattern is called "Tricorn", it was produced on a wide range of shapes and it dates from 1958.
I'm going to see if I can find out who is the designer.

Sorry

You are correct about John Clappison. I'm actually a big fan of Hornsea. Bought this horribly ugly (according to everyone else I know, lol) little spice jar years ago and have been a fan ever since.

Theres a blurb in the info about him designing that early in his career.

Cheers

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

by **Potty** January 17th 2013, 4:54 pm

I suspect it's British, probably a factory such as Midwinter/Hornsea etc, but we do (and always) need a base picture please.

by **Alex_s** January 17th 2013, 7:20 pm

There you go. My first thought was Hornsea, but it's not a design I've seen before and I'm quite familiar with that stuff. Doesn't look like Midwinter to me.

by **Alex_s** January 17th 2013, 7:25 pm

Oh - just noticed one of my little Hornsea mushrooms has a dark brown stopper just like one of these has.

by **Potty** January 17th 2013, 7:27 pm

Any impressed marks on the salt/pepper?

Alex_s wrote:Oh - just noticed one of my little Hornsea mushrooms has a dark brown stopper just like one of these has.

They were probably bought in from a supplier who also supplied other factory's, but this may help the idea of it being British.

by **Alex_s** January 17th 2013, 7:31 pm

No marks at all. The Hornsea mushroom cruets were also always unmarked, though. The green does seem very close to the lime green on the Gaiety range. I don't know if you can tell from the photo, but the design is incised.

by **Potty** January 17th 2013, 7:51 pm

Having looked up some others by Hornsea, personally I'm at least 75% confidant that they are Hornsea. (Though will probably find out I'm wrong Big Laughter

)

Reasons being:

The size and number of the holes are exactly the same as some on ebay (1 large hole for salt, 3 fine holes for pepper, also the way they have been molded sharply), the ebay ones are a different shape by the way.

The clay looks to be the right colour and hardness.

The molding looks right, including the "incised" parts.

The way the bases are molded.

The glaze tones seem to fit too.

by **studio-pots** January 17th 2013, 8:16 pm

It's not Midwinter but Hornsea seems a good shout to me, although I don't regard myself as knowing much about Hornsea.

by **Alex_s** January 17th 2013, 8:17 pm

Yes, I think Hornsea too, for the same reasons.

by **fuzzyedges** January 17th 2013, 8:49 pm

Brilliant! Thanks. Is it a Clappison design?
