8 years talking about a pepper pot.
Imagine our reaction to a full cruet!

Charisma
Charisma coffee cup. According to the book, "Charisma" was produced in 1979-80 using the shapes from Martin Hunt's "Concept" range. Nicely designed transfer print, vaguely reminiscent of Paul Klee.

Sorry. I do indeed. Applying the transfer to the "Concept" shapes would have been a little difficult.

Re: Hornsea Pottery (E Yorks & Lancaster)
Hi,
Hoping one of the Hornsea experts here might be able to throw some light on a recent find which I'm having trouble identifying! (see photos):
- it appears to be some sort of small urn or planter with a dark brown matt finish (unglazed?) similar in texture/appearance to Wedgwood's Jasperware - and similar in colour to the undecorated parts of Hornsea's "Contrast" and "Palatine" ranges of dinnerware)
It's about 95mm in height, 90mm wide (rim) (67mm wide (foot/base)) and weighs about 255g
The backstamp (in white) shows two doves and an unbroken single-line date-code of 8 dots all encircled by "LANCASTER VITRAMIC HORNSEA ENGLAND"
(as per pattern H21 shown here :http://eastgatenhornsea.com/backstamp.php - indicating a manufacture date between 1978-1980)
I've seen near-identical items on eBay described as Grecian Urns - exactly the same size and shape but in white and brown glazes, marked with the twin doves trademark logo, "Hornsea England" and date code (2 lines of dots) (as per pattern H23 (1980-87) - see link).
Other urns/vases with a very similar style and finish appear to be very rare/uncommon - I could find no others currently online except :
https://pin.it/F9eUvVj
https://pin.it/MxeCM-v
Any other info. (pattern range, designer, exact date of manufacture etc.) - would be greatly appreciated.
At the centre of the backstamp there is a small pin-hole going into the base (hollow?) - presumably an air/steam-release vent to prevent explosion during firing? ... or is there some other reason?
Thanks in advance.
[EDIT: just found several examples of similarly patterned white urns/amphora under the Hornsea "White Wedding"/"Classic" ("Doric"?) range - some with charcoal inlay, - and one in brown from the 1980's (with design(er) details etc.) - see: https://www.instagram.com/p/BWm78ZqBeOM/
- but would still welcome any further info about the "Grecian urn" (is it part of the same set as white wedding?) - and how to decipher the Hornsea dot-dating code! ]

Many Hornsea items were reproduced at their Lancaster factory, using the chocolate
and the white high-fired clays, as used for the "contrast" and other tableware ranges.

Effectively a Clappison mug without the handle.
They were also made upside-down, a hole put in the "base" to make
a mini lamp base.

Re: Hornsea Pottery (E Yorks & Lancaster)
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.

Re: Hornsea Pottery (E Yorks & Lancaster)
John Clappison's son joined the forum years ago and provided some inside info,it's probably still on this thread somewhere
