Clarice Cliff
The pottery painter Clarice Cliff created the distinctive wares that bear her name when she was employed by the Staffordshire firm of Wilkinson’s. It proved hugely popular and was soon a leading brand at the Burslem firm for which they employed a team of decorators.
The Art Deco shapes and bright colours of the Clarice Cliff ranges of table and ornamental wares, so admired at the time of their creation in the 1930s, enjoyed a revival in popularity in the 1970s that continues to this day making them desirable collectables.
