Clarice Cliff - Dod Proctor - A circular side plate for the 1934 Harrods Modern Art for the Table exhibition (Art in Industry) with stylised fish and seaweed, Dod Proctor and Bizarre mark, plate width 20cm, together with a matched sauce boat. (2)

NB - This was designed by Dod Proctor for the 1934 Harrods and Art in Industry 'Modern Art for the Table' exhibitions. Marked 'First Edition'. 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.
