Clarice Cliff Original Bizarre Vase
Stunning and super 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 magnificent vase has a bold pattern of red, blue, purple, green and cream. This is an early piece. In very good condition with no chips or cracks. There are some tiny spots of paint loss and the purple has some oxidisation. Some tiny scratches to the red rim. All are minor flaws but mentioned for accuracy. Backstamped Bizarre by Clarice Cliff in a gold stamp and Newport Pottery. A spectacular and highly impressive piece of Clarice Cliff pottery. Height - 20 cms. Diameter - 15 cms.
