Clarice is the one thing that leaves me totally cold. I really don't understand why collectors will pay such huge sums for something so basic....
For the same price as a Bonjour teapot, just think what Poole you could get!!!
-
I was told some time ago that Clarice Cliff designs were originally meant to Make a load of seconds look bright and Jolly so they could be sold to the poor and depressed people of Britain in a time of hardship .Is this true?
I have never been a fan of C C,her work could not be compared with that of John Butler who worked in the factory at that time,a true ceramic design genius (in my humble opinion)
-
No, not to my taste either.... I think that CSA Poole for one is much much better quality than CC yet makes nowhere near the heights her collectors will pay...

There are some Clarice Cliff (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarice_Cliff) patterns I've seen which I like but most don't do much for me. These are useful sites for those who do like the designs: http://www.claricecliff.co.uk/ and http://www.claricecliff.com/
I much prefer her contemporaries: Charlotte Rhead (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte_Rhead) and Susie Cooper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susie_Cooper).

I just found a site with some CC patterns I've not seen before. They are not as garish as some of the others: http://www.sheryls-artdeco.co.uk/ceramics1.html I rather like the Mowcop tureen.

That's really interesting Anne, as i would have sworn the second photo was of Mailing pieces????

But they were making pottery like this at Wilkinson at that time.
-
and there is absolutely NO WAY that they're gonna get ?145 for a Celtic Harvest bowl - they're worth about ?50 to ?75 absolute toppety tops!
all of the later Clarice stuff is overpriced on this site - in fact without wishing to denegrate the site at all - which is very good, attractive and well set out - I think all the prices are a little on the steep side. But my mental price list tends to eBay prices, so I am out of touch with prices that pieces can reach in the normal retail trade.

There is some lovely stuff but the prices, particularly for damaged items... :o

Believe it or not..... I am actually putting my sales into excel for my VAT this morning.... and have just discovered that last month I sold something to Sheryl! Good quick payer she was too... how about that for synchronicity?
-
I wasn't commenting on the prices as they weren't relevant to the topic really, but using the site as a source of pattern identification. I think we all have our own views about pricing on sites and eBay etc. ;)
-
There is no doubt that Sheryl has some lovely things...
I'm only jealous really! :mrgreen:
It is a good site for id, shame that there is no search function.
