Clarice Cliff & Michael Willmer - An Art in Industry Conical tea cup and saucer with matched side plate and cake plate circa 1934, decorated with a stylised devil figure, artists signature and Bizarre mark, largest plate width 20cm. (3)
NB - This was designed artist Michael Willmer 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.
All in good order and free from damage or restoration.
