Clarice Cliff 'Delecia Pansies' Le Bon Dieu Vase

Clarice Cliff 'Delecia Pansies' Tree Shape 575 Bon Dieu Vase c1933

Introduced at the peak of her popularity in 1932, 'Le Bon Dieu' was a range of tea and fancy wares modelled as gnarled tree trunks with the legend "I think that I shall never see a form more lovely as a tree". Decorated with rather drab glazes, the range did not sell well at all and most pieces were withdrawn and destroyed, consequently making it a rare shape to find. A few remaining blanks were successfully decorated, like this vase, with delecia floral patterns which are even rarer. For more details visit Premier Antiques
