Description: Hornsea Pottery Contrast Cup Martin Hunt Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee Mug. Museum quality pottery design. The genius partnership between Hornsea Pottery and Queensberry Hunt birthed a unique blend of matte brown and Modernism creating a design that feels more like art than tableware. Embossed on two sides for Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee this cup is an absolute gem addition to your collection. The embossing is so tastefully done in the same white as the interior. You will enjoy it on show or for everyday use. "Contrast tableware is included in the V&As collection, as the design signified a period of change within the industrial market as new technologies were adopted." "It was so popular that Contrast was added to the Victoria and Albert Museums permanent collection." "Hornseas international best-selling oven to tableware range, Contrast, was designed by Martin Hunt in 1974 and Hornsea Pottery won its first Design Council Award in 1975 for the range. Colin Rawson created the unique chocolate brown Vitramic body, produced when the clay is vitrified in a high-temperature firing followed by intense polishing. The pieces were placed into containers loaded with ceramic pellets and vibrated to achieve their pebble-like smoothness."
