Re: Clarice Cliff

Not my particular interest, I was looking at some Studio Pottery in the same sale. It just struck me how strong the Clarice Cliffe market still is. Most of these went in the£50- £150 price range with the normal scattering of unsolds, and the odd piece making over £1000. It makes a spectacular display though!

Well one mans gaudy is another mans beauty. Dunno, if I had to take some of this type of stuff I would take the CSA Poole which is prettier IMO - softer on the eye. More harmonious, this lot deliberately clashes.

Hi Crawford, I agree many of the early CSA pieces in the more subtle art deco style are more sophisticated and fit in better with the interior design of that period. I think the market for Clarice has softened somewhat and the crocus and other common patterns are not making nearly as much as they did some years ago.

Got any now?

Hi Studio-pots, I think many collectors of 20th century ceramics started by collecting Clarice or Susie Cooper , many pieces passed through our hands in the early days and they mostly sold very quickly but i must admit i got sick and tired of seeing yet another crocus pattern tea cup or bowl. As you probably know a number of very rare pieces have fetched large sums recently on par with some of the best studio pots.
