By 1930 Clarice Cliff had become the Potteries first woman designer, famous for her "Bizarre" ware, her amazing Art Deco ceramics and, in the 1930s, her floral designs, which formed the bulk of her sales - such as her much-loved "Crocus" design. Reproducing original colour transparencies, and drawing on Clarice's observations on her garden from letters written to a lifelong friend, this book explores her lifelong love of flowers and its impact on her work, showing how many of her designs - her stylized "Applique" and "Latona" florals, her "Marguerite" ware of 1931 or her 1934 "My Garden" - were inspired by that love and were later to be echoed in the flowers in her garden. It includes an A-Z directory of her floral designs, and valuations on a variety of Clarice Cliff shapes based on Christie's prices.

Book was sent very promptly and was beauifully illustrated and gave lots of inside info into Clarice Cliffs work. Although we didn't find our 'treasure' we did find lots of informative notes on how and when the pottery was made. Well worth the purchase.

I have collected Clarice's flower patterns for 8 years and if you prefer those to the abstracts or landscapes this book is a must, it's crisply written. As well as pictures of her pottery it has 50 year old colour pictures Clarice took in the fifties of her Staffordshire garden and her holidays in exotic places, she really lived! The colour pictures of the flower patterns are superb and there is also a chapter on the paintress Marjorie Higginson showing how the pottery was painted.
