51J Bizarre by Clarice Cliff Oranges Autumn Square Shaped Sugar Bowl

About the Item

The "Bizarre by Clarice Cliff" Oranges and Autumn sugar bowl is an iconic example of early 20th-century British art pottery. Clarice Cliff, known for her bold and distinctive designs, was a leading figure in the Art Deco pottery movement. Her work, characterized by vibrant colors and geometric patterns, remains highly collectible and admired. This particular sugar bowl, with dimensions of 8 x 8.5 cm, is part of the "Bizarre" range, which was introduced by Clarice Cliff in the late 1920s. The "Oranges and Autumn" pattern is celebrated for its vivid depiction of stylized oranges and autumnal foliage, rendered in bright, contrasting colors. These designs are hand-painted, showcasing Cliff's innovative approach to ceramics and her ability to blend traditional pottery techniques with modernist aesthetics. The square shape of the sugar bowl adds an additional layer of uniqueness, reflecting the Art Deco fascination with geometric forms and clean lines. This design choice not only enhances the visual appeal of the piece but also underscores Cliff's creative vision in pushing the boundaries of conventional pottery design. As a collectible piece, this sugar bowl represents a significant moment in decorative arts history, illustrating the transition from traditional to modern design during the early 20th century. It embodies the spirit of innovation and whimsy that Clarice Cliff brought to her work, making it a sought-after item for collectors of Art Deco and British pottery. This sugar bowl is not just a functional item but a celebrated artifact that reflects the dynamic artistic landscape of its time.
