Imprest is a collectable and attractive range of vases and pots in 4 patterns, with black-on-honey patterns (or more rarely, black-on-green). The range appears fairly regularly on the market, although it is not abundant. As with many Hornsea ranges, the prices of the large, tall vases (not shown) are beginning to get out of reach of the average collector.

Cactus pot Mould number 996. This pattern is square and circles. This small piece is in mint condition, apart from a few fine scratches on the black area. See Heckford (1998) p. 139. I use the term 'cactus pot' for any small plant pot; I don't know if there is any real distinction, though. Value: £5-15 |
 |
 |
Plant pot Mould number 990, fisheye pattern. Used, and with 3 minute pinpricks to top edge. Value: £15-30 (if mint) |
 |
 |
Plant pot Mould number 991, square and circles pattern. Pristine, and appears to be unused. Value: £15-25 |
 |
|
Homestead (1965) This range is rather uncommon, and the variant with blue flames (not shown) is particularly scarce.
|
||
 |
Jug With orange flame-pattern on a brown ground. This one has a couple of long crazing lines near the handle but has no chips or cracks, and appears to be unused. Value: £10-25 |
 |
|
Studiocraft (1966) This very scarce range is not related to the Studiocraft range of 1960-62.
|

|
|
Tall vase Fabulous sixties style, Completely free from damage. 12 ins tall. Value: £40-80 |
 |
|
Gourmet 66 (1966-7) Not to be confused with the much more common Hornsea heirloom which it superficially resembles.

|
Egg cups Mould 921. Not a well known range but they look great in this blue colour. Property of two English Ladies in the South of France. |
 |
|
|
Salt and pepper With white plastic stoppers. Mint condition. Value: £2-4 |
 |
|
|
Cruet set Lilac, with white plastic tops. Two of the pieces have some crazing; otherwise mint condition. Value: £15 |
 |
 |

cup set on stand The stand is unmarked. Mint condition. Value: £15 |
 |
|
John Clappison screen printed preserve pots (1967-76) The designs are also seen on mugs and cruets. The wooden lids, sometimes missing, may have a notch for a spoon, and a rubber seal; or the lid may be un-notched with no seal. I have seen them in two sizes. The larger one is 3 inches in diameter, the smaller is 2 5/8 inches. Two backstamps are seen: they may be printed Hornsea 1974 underneath, with date code in dots; or they may have HORNSEA ENGLAND is impressed underneath.

Raindrop (1968-70) Mint condition. As with many of these pots, there are remnants underglaze on the back of a footprint, presumably where the handle would have been attached to make a mug (see photo, bottom left). Value: £5 |
 |
 |
Fish (1968-70)

 |
 |
Bird (1969-75) Mint condition with a few feint crazing lines on some of the green areas. Value: £10-15 |
 |
|
|
Elephants (1974) Preserve pot; this design is also seen on a mug. Value: £15-20 |
 |
|
|
Geometric Unrecorded pattern (unless you know different, in which case please email me). Has R61 written under the glaze, so this may have been a trial piece. Value: £15-20 |
|
|
|
Geometric As above, but with brown detailing, and the number R59 in pencil under the glaze. There is a small split on the rim which appears to have been partly glazed over; it is not a re-glued chip. Value: £15-20. |
|
|
|
Owls Dated 1972 on the backstamp. The owl on the far left of the series has both eyes shut. Also seen with the more common yellow detailing instead of this turquoise variant. Value: £10-15 |
|
|
Heirloom (John Clappison, 1966) This range was very popular, and was produced from 1967-1987. Still very easy to find at second hand markets.
