Clarice Cliff & M.J.Riach (Ann Riach) - An Art in Industry circular wave edge plate circa 1934, transfer printed and painted with stylised flowers and foliage within fine black banding over the white Latona glazed ground, artist signature and Bizarre mark, width 23cm.
 
NB - This was designed by Ann Riach for the 1934 Harrods and Art in Industry 'Modern Art for the Table' exhibitions. In 1934 Foley China and Clarice Cliff were asked to produce a range of table wares for the exhibitions and notable artists of the day such as Paul Nash, Laura Knight, Duncan Grant, Graham Sutherland, Gordon Forsyth, Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth were invited to submit designs. Due to poor marketing, the public were largely unaware of the designs and after an initial twelve sets were commissioned of each, further production was halted.
