Paul Nash - Foley China - A handpainted 'Forest' side plate, circa 1934, decorated with stylized tree canopies in tonal yellow, green and brown, over cream ground, printed black marks and facsimile signature to reverse, diameter 16cm.
N.B - This was designed by Paul Nash 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.
