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. A version similar to the Fitzwilliam items, and attributed to Clarice Cliff, is illustrated in ‘The Quiver’, December 1936, 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-107318 adlib-term-107318 d27559f3-e90c-35cd-b7e4-46eaeb9ac521 20th Century reference term-110455 adlib-term-110455 5e7df88f-a1c2-39c8-a341-807aa544c9d0 literal England England country Stoke-on-Trent reference term-32652 adlib-term-32652 82d8ae3b-f165-395c-ba93-dfa1c282b7be glaze reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Height cm 11 Length cm 26.6 Width cm 20.5 reference media-41655 adlib-media-41655 b95c3411-a03b-398d-92ed-b9c31018a466 jpeg aa/aa6/C_28_20_26_20A_1996_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583002837 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/mid_C_28_20_26_20A_1996_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583002837 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/C_28_20_26_20A_1996_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583002837 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/preview_C_28_20_26_20A_1996_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583002837 1 image 0 media image reference media-41656 adlib-media-41656 58a95413-4e0b-38f4-ae77-9f85cb8a2e32 jpeg aa/aa6/C_28_20_26_20A_1996_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583050943 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/mid_C_28_20_26_20A_1996_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1742583050943 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/C_28_20_26_20A_1996_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1742583050943 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/preview_C_28_20_26_20A_1996_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1742583050943 1 image 1 media image reference term-133671 adlib-term-133671 f15cf456-ddda-3e03-8fc5-bf40555fd7bd serving dish and cover tureen history note purchased from N.J.
