Clarice Cliff - Delecia Pansies

Clarice Cliff Bizarre 'Pansies' Bon Jour biscuit barrel c1933
The original Delecia effect was produced by mixing raw colour with turpentine which was then allowed to run over the ware leaving a pattern of randomly coloured drips. Introduced in 1929, several floral designs were then developed including daisies and pansies which used the delecia technique for the background. Here we have a superb biscuit barrel in the very collectible Bon Jour shape. The pattern and shape work beautifully together. For more details visit my website Premier Antiques

Clarice Cliff - Autumn Crocus & the Conical Shape

Clarice Cliff Crocus on a conical cup and saucer c1932

A classic art deco design, here on a classic art deco shape. After the initial success of the conical bowl and teapot in 1929, other tea ware shapes followed and included cups and saucers. Earlier conical cups have a 'smooth' solid handle, but the design was subsequently produced with a moulded inset in an attempt to make them easier to hold. Bizarre Crocus continued on more traditional shapes such as tankard coffee sets, drum jampots and coronet jugs; not used so much on the new shapes, making conical Crocus items relatively rare.
