Graham Sutherland - Foley China - A dessert plate, circa 1934, of circular form, decorated with green dots with black line detail over white ground and pink and black scribbled border, printed black marks and facsimile signature, marked First Edition, diameter 23cm.
NB - This was designed for the 1934 Harrods and Art in Industry 'Modern Art for the Table' exhibitions. Marked 'First Edition'. In 1934 Foley China and Clarice Cliff were asked to produce a range of table wares for the exhibitions and notable artists of the day such as Paul Nash, Laura Knight, Duncan Grant, Graham Sutherland, Gordon Forsyth, Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth were invited to submit designs. Due to poor marketing, the public were largely unaware of the designs and after an initial twelve sets were commissioned of each, further production was halted.
