From 1932-1934 one very famous
pottery designer, Clarice Cliff,
became involved in a short lived, yet historic attempt to bring together
the forces of
the Pottery and Glass Industries and contemporary artists. Included
artists and industry companies involved in this endeavor were Thomas
Acland
Fennemore, Art Director of E. Brain & Company, Foley China, along
with
the artist Graham Sutherland and the designer Milner Gray. Leading
artists of the day were invited to contribute designs to be made in
bone china by Foley and in earthenware by Wilkinson's Ltd. The completed
designs toured
the country, having been shown first at the Harrods Exhibition of 1934.
This
listing is for 6 dinner plates, on Wilkinson Ltd. of England earthenware, designed
by Graham Sutherland for the purpose of this exhibition. These pieces
were produced in Bizarre by Clarice Cliff. This is a wonderful example
of 1934 contemporary tableware design. A twisted black rope with green. All are marked First Edition 1934.
Included in this listing are:
- 6 Dinner Plates - 10" diameter
Measurements are approximate.
Theses pieces are used and do have crazing and
light utensil marks. Please see all pictures, I have tried to capture
the crazing in picture #4. Although crazed, they are functional. These are hand-painted and the last picture shows an example of paint smudges that some pieces may have. I find no chips.
Each piece is marked on the back - Designed by Graham Sutherland, A.R.E., produced in Bizarre by Clarice Cliff, Wilkinson Ltd, England, Copyright Reserved, First Edition, 1934.
