About John Clappison
- William John Clappison (27 June 1937 – 21 February 2013) was an English ceramic and glass designer.
- Although Clappison is not as familiar as many of his British contemporaries (his name not appearing on individual pieces), his work sold in the millions.
- Initially working out of the Hornsea Studio, partly financed by his father, Clappison would later work for Ravenhead Glass and Royal Doulton.
- Some of his more popular designs included the Heirloom range for Hornsea Pottery, his Studiocraft vases and his plain white Aphrodite vase, which became a popular wedding present of its time.
