Cant see this one on the pages above but it has some nice pics plus some info about the designers if you root about in the links

I'm told this was made in 1962 but have no firm information?

According to Brian Heckford's Hornsea Pottery it is called the floral pattern, mould No 418
made only for one year 1962 and called the Large Jardiniere in three colours charcoal, turquoise and grey all on a white background
and sold for 14s 4d (72p)

Not that I enjoy lowering the tone or anything, here's my Hornsea 'Grandpa' mug.

Hornsea 'Viking Boat' jardineire - mould 357 mark 11 - 11" long by John Clappison - 1960-61

Bought for £5 yesterday which I think is a bargain!

Thanks Adam

I have dated this small pin tray to, I believe, 1949-52 but no idea of designer. Any thoughts please. Thanks John

I picked up this Hornsea Coronet jug today, I believe production was restricted to 1960-61. Was this produced in large numbers over these two years or is it quite scarce.I am assuming this is a John Clappison design, would that be right?




Thanks John

Yes it is a John clappison design. He was there from 1958 to 1972 then again in 1976 and he was the driving force into table ware
(he designed the elegance range 3 years before he joined hornsea, probably because his mam and dad, Philip and Edith, were very involved in hornsea and had been for many years. They were the prime movers for the "come and see how we make pottery" which proved very popular)
Your jug is an oiler/vinergerette and unless you have the stopper elsewhere it is missing it
The ones that are hard to find are the early ones of the production that had a coloured dot at the end of each channel making it look like a coronet but this was soon discontinued due to production costs
the mould number was 204
There are thirteen pieces in the range should you decide to collect more

Just baught - a Muramic wall plaque by John Clappinson 1971 - 1972 - Court Jester

Good description Brian Heckford book pp 147

Thanks Adam

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.

the other :)

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

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 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

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

Hornsea Studiocraft vase, 1966.
c.30cm

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

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

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.

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