Bold, geometric and unmistakably mid-century, the Magpie x Hornsea Backgammon Orange Mug brings one of John Clappison’s distinctive 1960s designs back to the everyday table. Originally created for Hornsea ceramics around 1967, the Backgammon pattern has been redrawn by Magpie from original artwork held in the Hornsea Museum archives and finished in authentic colours of the era.
Crafted from stoneware and hand-glazed so each piece is beautifully unique, this stackable mug combines graphic retro design with everyday practicality. Presented in a matching patterned gift box, it makes a brilliant gift for lovers of mid-century interiors or a colourful addition to your own collection.
John Clappison was one of Hornsea’s most influential designers, creating many of the playful and progressive patterns now synonymous with the pottery. Magpie’s officially licensed collection gives these archive designs a new life while celebrating their original character.
