Vanessa Bell Clarice Cliff 1934 Art in Industry
An extremely rare 6 inch jug designed by Bloomsbury artist Vanessa Bell 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, 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 12 sets were commissioned of each, further production was halted. These pieces have now become highly collectable, particularly single items from sets such as jugs.

Condition The jug is perfect with no damage, crazing or wear. For complete accuracy, there is a feint thin line through the centre of the design which I presume is part of the pattern as it is under the glaze. Also, one minute factory firing dot. Any white marks are camera flash
