ABOUT PRODUCTID 14359
The Lancaster Vitramic Hornsea Contrast breakfast set was created in England in the 1970s, designed by Martin Hunt in 1974 for Hornsea. The set includes a cup, saucer, and dessert plate. The ceramic pieces present a cylindrical, minimalist form made of stoneware, with a deep, matte brown exterior complemented by glossy white glaze on the inside of the cup and on the centers of the saucer and plate. The design exemplifies mid-century modern values: geometric simplicity and a balance between functionality and visual presence. The cup features a thick, rounded handle; the surfaces are predominantly matte and smooth to the touch, and the craftsmanship is precise with seamless construction. Each piece is signed on the underside. The set is in good vintage condition, with minor wear consistent with gentle use and no evidence of damage or restoration.
This service reflects the everyday life of the 1970s, when modernist design delivered clarity and utility to domestic rituals. Its understated lines speak of an era that valued function over ornament, and the interplay of matte brown with glossy white recalls the restraint and reliability characteristic of British utilitarian ceramics. The set seems to echo quiet mornings, where a cup of coffee or tea embodied not just routine, but a small celebration of craft and distinction.
This breakfast set can be used in a dining area arranged with late modernist influences, or as a collector’s piece in an eclectic interior. It can be paired with
