Elegance designed by John Clappison (1955) This collectable range, designed by John Clappison in 1955, was produced between 1955 and 1959 at Hornsea with a yellow interior. Elegance is occasionally seen with the Studio Craft backstamp, and yellow or blue interiors. For an account of Clappison's life and work, see Casey, 2001. The pieces below are fairly frequent. Watch out for the less common, and more valuable, large vase. Note the similarity with designs from Swedish factories at the time, such as Gefle (vase, right), and Gabriel. Van Daalen in Germany also produced an identical striped pattern on vases.
