Milner Gray - Foley China - A bone china 'Old Mayfair Series' teaset, circa 1930, monochrome printed with annotated London scenes, comprising teapot, hot water pot, six cups, six saucers, milk jug and sugar bowl, printed black marks and facsimile signature, tallest 20cm. (16)
NB - This was designed 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.
