Hornsea Pottery (E Yorks & Lancaster)

Just had a quick look on the net and found a lidded pot on ebay but listed as "Country" not "County". Which is correct??

Cheers!

Hi.  I've been trying to find out about this mug/beaker - Rough date of manufacture? Found other similar ones search by "train mug" or "train beaker" was that the design name? All the others I've found have white insides this has brown, any reasons for that? This has a number 1 handwritten on the base, which appears to be under the glazing as it doesn't come off with marker pen remover, did that signify anything on the production line etc., wondering if it meant it was a "second" or anything? Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks very much for all the info.  I've done a lot of searching but I've not been able to find anything about that number 1.  I had hoped it would be something commonly done at Hornsea, or potteries in general, & therefore easy to find out the meaning of it but nothing so far.  The trial number idea is interesting & gives me a new direction to search in. Thanks again.

Thanks for the kind offer but, after spending another couple of hours searching last night &, as you suspected, finding nothing, I've given up on finding out what the number means. It's my dad's mug & he'd asked me to see what I could find out about it & the number, he'll have to settle for the mug info. As I mentioned, I'd assumed the numbering on the base would turn out to be something commonly done at potteries & therefore it would be easy to verify it's meaning, obviously my assumption was wrong.
Thanks again for your help.

Wow!!!!!!

I picked this up in a charity shop today. I don't know what it is or what it could be used for, but the sticker sold it to me for £2.00. Is it or isn't it?

Your first two photos were corrupted and need to be reloaded

Looks like something out of a fish tank!

Well Done DD! I knew somebody would have a clue about it! So it is a genuine Hornsea piece! Not just a sticker stuck on a random item? It came from a local charity shop for a couple of quid, but I was dubious about the sticker and no other marks. Could have been anything, I have never seen Hornsea like that! Many thanks!!

One of those common small Hornsea dishes. This being unusual as it was as it was bought as a souvenir from the pottery itself.
