Interesting Hornsea Heirloom Facts
Heirloom was Hornsea’s first complete range of tableware, and was designed by John Clappison in 1966 – in production from 1967-1987.
Its distinctive screen printed black pattern, along with the well designed forms, were so hugely successful that from 1968 the entire production at Hornsea was given over to it for a period.
Heirloom – as with other good designs – continues to be popular on the secondary market – now with a whole new generation discovering it.
