About

Set of three miniature conical sugar sifters designed by Clarice Cliff, England, circa 1930. Produced in earthenware and decorated in polychrome enamels. The group comprises one example in the Coral Firs pattern and two examples in the Hydrangea pattern, each painted with stylised floral and landscape motifs. One sifter is stamped Made in England to the base.

Surface scuffs and light scratches to the decoration. The orange Hydrangea example is lacking its stopper. The Coral Firs example shows a small chip to the footrim. The green Hydrangea example shows minor rubbing to the decoration. All pieces remain structurally sound.

Clarice Cliff (1899–1972) was a British ceramic designer active primarily in Staffordshire. From 1927 she worked for the Burslem potter A. J. Wilkinson, where she developed brightly coloured, modern ceramic wares produced during the interwar period. Her designs were issued under ranges including Bizarre, Fantasque, and Applique, and encompassed both functional tableware and ornamental forms. Conical sugar sifters are a documented part of her production and were decorated across multiple pattern ranges during the late 1920s and early 1930s.
