Quirky, playful and just a little bit strange, the Magpie x Hornsea Cat & Piranha Mug is exactly the kind of design that makes Hornsea so collectable. Originally illustrated by Hornsea Design Director John Clappison in 1967, the wonderfully characterful Cat & Piranha artwork has been revived by Magpie from the original Hornsea Museum archives.
Made from stoneware and individually hand-glazed, each mug has its own subtle variations. The distinctive stacking shape and authentic period colours give it a true mid-century feel, while a matching printed gift box makes it an excellent present for cat lovers and fans of unusual design alike.
John Clappison helped shape Hornsea’s progressive visual identity throughout the mid-20th century. His bold graphics and playful illustrations remain instantly recognisable today, with Magpie carefully reissuing selected archive designs under official licence.
