Founded in 1949 by brothers Colin and Desmond Rawson, Hornsea Potteries quickly gained recognition for its innovative ceramics and distinctive graphic style. Though the pottery closed its doors in 2000, Magpie has brought a selection of its most iconic creations back into production, starting with the whimsical illustration work of John Clappison.
The Orange Octopus Mug is made from stoneware and individually hand-glazed, giving each mug its own personality. Featuring Clappison’s delightfully quirky octopus illustration, it’s a standout piece of retro art pottery. Presented in a gift box, it’s a perfect choice for anyone who loves mid-century seaside-inspired design.
