Clarice Cliff Conical Sugar Sifter – Lydiat, Circa 1933 – 14cm

Clarice Cliff Conical Sugar Sifter – Lydiat, Circa 1933

A distinctive example of original Clarice Cliff pottery, this Conical sugar sifter is decorated in the Lydiat design and dates from circa 1933.

The strong geometric profile of the Conical form provides an excellent setting for the decorative Lydiat pattern, creating a piece with unmistakable Art Deco character. The combination of an unusual ceramic form and bold surface decoration reflects the imaginative approach that made Clarice Cliff’s work so distinctive.

Dating from the early 1930s, the sugar sifter represents a period when Clarice Cliff pottery was characterised by adventurous shapes, expressive decoration and a confident use of pattern. These qualities transformed functional tableware into highly decorative pieces designed to make a visual impact.

The unusual sugar sifter form gives this example particular display appeal. It would make an attractive addition to a collection of Clarice Cliff Conical pieces, Lydiat-pattern pottery or British Art Deco ceramics from the period.

Displayed individually or alongside other Clarice Cliff pieces, the combination of its distinctive silhouette and Lydiat decoration makes this a particularly eye-catching piece.

This original Clarice Cliff Conical sugar sifter in Lydiat is presented in perfect condition.
