Clarice Cliff Original Bizarre Small Octagonal Plate

Fabulous and rare piece of art deco Clarice Cliff. In 1925, Cliff was given her own studio initially taking defective wares and crudely handpainting them with geometric patterns to hide the faults. Proving very popular, this range was then produced in its own right named Bizarre and ran from 1928 -1935. Often referred to as Original Bizarre by collectors, this meant a range of designs rather than one specific pattern but all typically with thickly applied bright colourways and geometric shapes. This spectacular small plate has a bold pattern of purple, green, red and cream. It is in the less common octagonal shape. In excellent condition with no chips or cracks. Some minor rubbing to the paint. To the back is a gold backstamped for Bizarre by Clarice Cliff and Newport Pottery. A wonderful  piece of Clarice Cliff pottery. Diameter  - 14.5 cms.
