Clarice Cliff & Billie Walters - Deer - An Art in Industry circular plate circa 1934, transfer printed and hand painted with a stylised leaping deer and tree within a wave line border to a white glazed ground, artists signature and Bizarre mark, width 25cm, together with a matched soup bowl.
NB - This was designed by Billie 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.
The plate shows some wear and fading to the decoration.
