Hornsea Summertime with a nod to Kitschenpink

As a quick follow-on to the last blogpost on the Hornsea Summit range, and in response to a comment from Teena at Kitschenpink, here are some photos of the Summertime range by Hornsea Pottery. The range was produced between 1962 and 1964.

The range does have many similarities to the Summit range. Like Summit, the Summertime range has white bodies with fluted stripes of colour inlay but on the Summertime range, the stripes are slightly narrower and closer together. The Summertime range also features the addition of co-ordinating plastic lids, which add a nice splash of colour.

So, big thanks to Teena for her comments on Summertime and for giving me the inspiration to do this blogpost.

Hornsea Summit for La momes

A quick blogpost to answer a question from La momes Old fashioned

This fluted striped tableware with inlay colour is called Summit. It was made by Hornsea Pottery, England between 1960 and 1965. Some time ago I did a blogpost on the Crafty Cruet. I promised then to do a blogpost on Summit, which I will do soon. You can see an example of Summit at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, here: Summit at the V&A

This 1960s crafty cruet has a hidden secret.

This retro-looking salt pot from the 1960s has a secret.

Lift up the salt pot and 'hey presto!' hidden under its hollowed-out body is a smaller matching pepper pot. Both pots sit on a small round dish that could double-up as a mustard holder. How cool is that?

Designed and produced in 1963-1964, this is the brilliant Crafty Cruet by Hornsea Pottery. The main body has tapering incised grooves with colour inlay and the cruet is in the style of the Summit tableware range made by Hornsea throughout the early 1960s. The Crafty Cruet was produced in four different colours. I'm still looking for the Apricot Yellow version.

I'm hoping to do a post on Summit some time in the near future but in the meantime, you can see an example from the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, here Summit at the V&A
