Clarice Cliff for Royal Doulton, serving dish. Art Deco faience serving dish with a craquelure glaze and hand-painted decoration from the “Syren” series. The dish features a round form with a softly scalloped rim and a dynamic, stylised floral motif in vivid, contrasting colours, characteristic of Clarice Cliff’s interwar design language. Origin: England. Material: Faience. Dimensions: D. 24 cm. Period: Art Deco. 1930s. Condition: Good condition with minor signs of wear. Craquelure to the glaze is present, as typical for the period. Bio: Clarice Cliff’s work for Royal Doulton represents a high point of British Art Deco ceramics. Her use of bold colours, rhythmic patterning and modern compositions marked a clear departure from earlier, more traditional decoration. The “Syren” series is a characteristic example of this approach and is today considered one of her more desirable decorative patterns.
