A fine example of the freehand of the artist where no two vase are the same.
This vase is known as Water Lily or Lily Pond or Crocus Bowl or Lotus. Clarice made this probably in the 1930's whilst she was at Newport pottery.. One of my favourite pieces of Clarice Cliff. To find one of this quaity and richness of colour is a great effort. I've seen many and in varying forms of condition but this one has no crazing at all, could be classed as musuem quality.
In the past the price was too high but fortunately I found one at a reasonable price.
You can find the vase is pink, soft blues or plain with just the base in colour. There is no doubt the full colour yellow is divine...
Hope you enjoy!
STUNNING !! ive always loved clarice cliff designs and her work is just fab&fun :)
Envy! Jealousy! Avarice!
I've got them all.
Good for you Anne!
Thank you Sean and Karen...her work was strangely forgotten for decades after the 40s mainly until the 90's when Gerry Hall attend an auction and bought one of her dinner sets for 2000 pounds... from the moment everyone wanted it...people like me nd my mothers age were rmaging through their china cabinets looking for her items. And I found one trio but I never asked my father for it, I just told him it was there for him to know.He left it to me in his Will when he died. But its items like this I cannot bear to publish on CW as these are really private items... :)
Cheers Anne W xx
