As an avid fan of old films I was quite surprised to see a piece of Clarice Cliff in the film: "Witness In The Dark 1959".
TPTV Channel 81 show quite a few of Patricia Dainton's film and I have to admit I have become quite a fan of her film output.
Rhondanthe vase post war 1946/7? 12 inches high by 10 wide the largest piece in this pattern around on film. There is another film where barritz plates are on a welsh dresser, another British film from around 1956, I must look this up and do another blog.
Clarice Cliff
Below Rhondanthe plate By Clarice Cliff.
In the sitting room on a large sideboard a brief fleeting view of the rhodanthe vase. The film stars Patricia Dainton as a blind girl looking after an elderly lady, Madge Ryan killed for her precious brooch. A rather creepy sinister, performance from Nigel Green as the killer.
Conrad Philips as the detective complete the trio. Another Pat Dainton film is:" The House On Marsh Road" 1960 with Tony Wright a tense suspense film which can be found on the net you tube or Talking pictures Channel 81 on free view.
Other films that have Clarice Cliff pottery in are Mr Phibes Rises Again 1972 with Vincent Price,
Two Ravel conical cups are seen, and a draw full of Crocus, ware in The Eye Of Needle 1981.
