Clarice Cliff Stamford Teapots

Clarice Cliff 'Crocus' Stamford teapot c1932

Introduced in September 1930, the flat sided Stamford shape was difficult to fire and hard to make at first, but it was soon being produced in sets comprising a Stamford teapot, milk and sugar. Matched with conical cups and saucers, they were an immediate success. Based on a silver design by Tétard of Paris, Clarice's pottery version has become a classic example of British art deco.
