Laura Knight - A.E. Brain & Co - Foley China - An early morning breakfast service comprising teapot, two teacups and saucers, milk, sugar and side plate, for the 1934 Harrods Modern Art for the Table exhibition (Art in Industry), transfer printed and hand coloured in the Dove and Flood pattern, surrounded with white rain drops over a pink lustre ground, printed marks.
NB - This was designed by Laura Knight 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, 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 share light general wear with age, however free from chips, cracks and repairs.
