NB - This was designed by Allan Walters for the 1934 Harrods and Art in Industry 'Modern Art for the Table' exhibitions. 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.
There are hairlines to the cup and crazing to the saucer however the other pieces are in good order and free from damage.
