Clarice Cliff Sugar Sifter with EPNS Cover – Whisper Variant, Circa 1929 – 17cm

Clarice Cliff Sugar Sifter with EPNS Cover – Whisper Variant, Circa 1929

A distinctive example of original Clarice Cliff pottery, this sugar sifter features a Whisper variant design and dates from circa 1929. The piece is complemented by its EPNS cover, giving the sifter an attractive combination of decorated ceramic and metalwork.

Dating from the late 1920s, the piece comes from a fascinating period in Clarice Cliff’s work, when bold decoration, imaginative forms and a fresh approach to colour were helping to create a new and instantly recognisable style of British ceramics.

The Whisper variant decoration gives the sifter its own individual character, while the contrasting EPNS cover adds another decorative element to the overall design. Together they create an unusual piece with considerable visual appeal.

The sugar sifter form also makes this an interesting addition to a Clarice Cliff collection, particularly for collectors looking for decorative tableware and less commonly represented forms alongside traditional vases, plates and bowls.

Whether displayed individually or alongside other Clarice Cliff pieces from the late 1920s, this is a striking example of period design.

This original Clarice Cliff Whisper variant sugar sifter with EPNS cover is presented in perfect condition.
