The fascinating world of Clarice Cliff yesterday and today...


 I thought I would pass the batton on to a fellow admirer and as an avid learner Lesley and Angela and Sue and Mike too. So Lesley has written this blog today on my Blogger site. Clarice picture restoration above Twelve past four studios and Chris Rogers copyright 2020..... Below Clarice Cliff face mask by Peggy Davies ceramics Circa 2000.



From the notes given it would appear and I have a piece of the Midwinter reproductions from 1985, that Ethel Barrow was an advisor on the pieces... The Clarice Cliff Collectors Club was in it's infancy and the piece I purchased was from Southport a sugar shaker Blue Autumn.

We all study all things Clarice,  from back then and now from inspired work to copies and everything in between as detectives and source seekers... We shall be highlighting various pieces compairing reproductions to the originals... We all hope to visit Stoke this year on a trail of discovery...

We read many net articles and most of us are Bowie fans too infact I have a signed copy of The World Of David Bowie. 1970. We have all read the book from Wanda Sutton on the art of hand painting, and spoke to the author a few years back. We hope to learn and share our hobby with many people on many Deco pieces from the mass producers at the time such as: Shelley, Susie Cooper, Beswick and many others..

We leave the dealing side of sales to the dealers appreciation is our area of interest! and research on various styles from the Art deco period.

This blog is a work in progress..
