Clarice Cliff and her famous pottery were on sale mass prouduced and cheap. Today the iconic designs are works of art. Clarice herself was a reserved lady who never gave her work that much credit!
The Bigarre Girls her original painters told me a few tales, today you cannot buy Clarice Cliff as such only Wedgwood interpretations mostly transfer too.
Below an original piece by designer Chris Rogers Sugar Shaker the nearest to Cliff your going to get? for originality. These pieces are painted for a niche market, private collectors, and friends it's a love thing not a financial one !!!. I do original designs not copying. The Colour Room you have a market for the originals most people can not afford? not what the pottery was intended for originally?
A film about her life is coming out:" The Colour Room"which will show why she became such an iconic figure a statue is fine perhaps a Clarice Cliff room with someone painting her designs? and maybe able to buy these? for the new generation? This time no changing the designs please pure and true. Clarice Cliff below.
The best regeneration plan for stoke is Clarice Cliff not imposters or someones elses view of her work? no names mentioned. Paul Williams and Dave Proudlove go for it! build on the icon Clarice is coming home keep her this time!
Chris Rogers 2021.
