Bring something a little unexpected to your mug cupboard with the Magpie x Hornsea Octopus Mug. Originally illustrated by Hornsea Design Director John Clappison in 1967, this wonderfully unusual design has been revived by Magpie using original artwork held in the Hornsea Museum archives.
Crafted from stoneware with a hand-glazed finish, every mug has subtle differences that make it unique. Authentic Hornsea colours and the distinctive stacking shape keep the design firmly rooted in its mid-century origins, while the matching printed gift box makes it a brilliant present.
From geometric patterns to wonderfully playful creatures, John Clappison’s work helped establish Hornsea as one of the most exciting names in post-war British ceramics. Magpie’s officially licensed reissues celebrate that creativity while bringing his archive illustrations back into everyday use.
