Marked as designed by Clarice Cliff, items in this series have a cream ground and are decorated with a relief, polychrome fish. Clarice Cliff (1899-1972) joined the pottery industry at 13, as a paintress. She joined A J Wilkinson in 1916 as a lithographer, rising to become a modeller and shape designer. After local evening classes, she studied at the Royal College of Art. In 1929, A J Wilkinson introduced her colourful Art Deco ‘Bizarre’ series, which established her as a well-known designer. In 1940 she married Arthur Colley Shorter, the managing director, and through him became a major shareholder in the family group, founded in the 1870s, which comprised Wilkinson, Newport Pottery and Shorter & Son. Her younger sister Dolly Cliff also worked at Wilkinson’s, supervising a team of specialist decorators, and some of her designs were later issued under Clarice’s name. ‘Fish ware’, one of Shorter & Son’s most popular designs, was first introduced in the late 1920s or early 1930s. The Fitzwilliam holds a serving bowl and cover, a sauce boat and stand, a serving dish/plate and six small dishes/plates in this series. A similar version is illustrated in ‘The Quiver’, December 1936; it is attributed to Clarice Cliff, and described as ‘in a delicious matt cream glaze in pottery [with] only softly subdued turquoise fins as colour accent'. In the 1950s a high glaze version was produced, in various colourways. reference term-110488 adlib-term-110488 4503a73a-ae49-3f4d-8814-88925dcd11a3 20th Century, Mid reference term-107749 adlib-term-107749 e089b122-3c61-3b88-a645-624a4a54e267 1930s reference term-110455 adlib-term-110455 5e7df88f-a1c2-39c8-a341-807aa544c9d0 literal England England country literal Staffordshire Staffordshire region Stoke-on-Trent reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Height cm 2.2 Length cm 23 Width cm 20.8 reference media-42495 adlib-media-42495 3d9b0b24-6ad2-36df-bffa-9a75c1107de6 jpeg aa/aa6/C_31_1996.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583110187 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/mid_C_31_1996.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583110187 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/C_31_1996.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583110187 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/preview_C_31_1996.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583110187 1 image 0 media image reference term-90855 adlib-term-90855 b48207ec-774d-3e3e-8ab3-536996bc5dac dish plate history note purchased from N.J.Zolman, 1996 1 reference object-74082 adlib-object-74082 ea0f8af5-ca34-3c92-a372-5f30623eaff1
