Lot 79: A Collection of Hornsea Pottery Saffron and Relief-Moulded Tableware
A collection of mid-century modern British ceramics, primarily featuring the Saffron pattern designed by John Clappison for Hornsea Pottery. The Saffron pieces are decorated with stylized orange floral motifs on a honey-brown glazed ground. The group also includes items with dark brown relief-moulded geometric patterns, consistent with the Hornsea Heirloom or Brontë ranges, and white earthenware mugs with transfer-printed yellow floral designs. The assortment comprises a large cylindrical coffee pot, various mugs, milk jugs, creamers, and storage canisters fitted with circular wooden lids. Additionally, the lot contains a large brown glazed serving bowl with relief decoration, a rectangular dish base, and a lidded casserole dish. These items are constructed from high-fired earthenware and stoneware.
