Clarice Cliff Original Bizarre Octagonal Plate

Fabulously rare piece of art deco Clarice Cliff. In 1925, Cliff was given her own studio initially taking defective wares and crudely handpainting them with geometric patterns to hide the faults. Proving very popular, this range was named Bizarre and ran from 1928 -1935. Often referred to as Original Bizarre by collectors, this meant a range of designs rather than one specific pattern but all typically with thickly applied bright colourways and geometric shapes. This spectacular plate has a bold pattern of yellow, red, blue and green. It is in the less common octagonal shape. In very good condition with no chips or cracks. Two tiny kiln frits made during the manufacturing process. Backstamped Bizarre by Clarice Cliff and Newport Pottery. Diameter  - 22.5 cms.
