Retro Ceramics - British

Hornsea Pottery was established in 1949 and started off as a small business producing tourist ware. Just three years later in 1951 they were doing so well they moved premises and by 1954 they had to move again to the site where they remained until they went into liquidation in the late 1980’s.

They employed now legendary designers such as Marion Campbell, John Clappison, Alan Luckham and Martin Hunt, amongst others, with John Clappison in particular being recognised early on in his career as a serious talent and appointed Chief Designer to Hornsea Pottery in 1958 at the age of only 21. His modernist, stylish and innovative designs being, quite rightly, highly collectable today – and include the very kitsch ‘Elegance’ and ‘Tricorn’ ranges from the late 1950’s and his (later) range of Muramics (ceramic wall-plaques usually teak backed, sometimes mounted on canvas and still being made by John Clappison and sold in limited editions today). Hornsea throughout the 1960’s, 1970’s and up until they closed were also producing many different styles of pots, ornaments and kitchenware – including our personal favourites; John Clappison’s ‘World’s Best’ mugs and his ‘newsprint’ series of animal mugs (Hippo, Lion, Toucan etc).

We are very pleased to be able to offer you a selection of what we consider to be some of the best Hornsea Pottery designs from the latter half of the 20th century.
