Hornsea "Bronte" Retro Tea Trios circa 1970s

Retro Hornsea Pottery tea trios in the "Bronte" pattern. The trios includes a coffee can style mug, saucer and bread & butter plates.

The mugs are approx 7cm tall x 8cm across the opening. The saucers are 15cm across and the bread and butter plates are 17cm across.

These items have all been made of moulded pottery bases, then covered in a light brown glaze. A 70's style pattern has then been applied around the coffee cans mugs in a green glaze. The centres of the saucers and plates have been decorated with a dark brown glaze.

Condition is very good, no chips, cracks or crazing. Just a little surface wear from use, please see photos as part of the description.

The Hornsea Pottery factory was located in Hornsea, Yorkshire, England, and ran from 1949 to 2000. The backstamps on the base of these items indicate that they were made in the 1970s.
