Allan Walton - Foley China - A 'Mornington' pattern side plate, circa 1934, of circular form, decorated with orange flower petals with yellow and black triangles over white ground and rolling lime border, black printed marks and facsimile signature, marked First Edition, diameter 18cm.
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.
