By 1930 Clarice Cliff had become the Potteries first woman designer, famous for her "Bizarre" ware, her amazing Art Deco ceramics and, in the 1930s, her floral designs, which formed the bulk of her sales - such as her much-loved "Crocus" design. Reproducing original colour transparencies, and drawing on Clarice's observations on her garden from letters written to a lifelong friend, this book explores her lifelong love of flowers and its impact on her work, showing how many of her designs - her stylized "Applique" and "Latona" florals, her "Marguerite" ware of 1931 or her 1934 "My Garden" - were inspired by that love and were later to be echoed in the flowers in her garden. It includes an A-Z directory of her floral designs, and valuations on a variety of Clarice Cliff shapes based on Christie's prices.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
