The Staffordshire born and bred designer Clarice Cliff made her name with the brightly coloured range of Art Deco pottery she created in the 1920s.
Her talent was first spotted in 1916 when she joined Arthur J Wilkinson, a Burslem maker of standard transfer-printed earthenwares, she was later given her own studio and a team of paintresses to work with her on more experimental wares.
