We believe in offering clients items that are unique and rare for aficionados of the antique and collector's world. Bibelot is a late nineteenth century word derived from the French word bel ‘beautiful’, meaning a small item of beauty, curiosity or interest. The word ephemera is derived from the sixteenth century Greek word ephmera meaning a printed or hand written paper not meant to be retained for a long period of time.


Fine and rare early Clarice Cliff hand painted angular jug circa 1929-1931, in the 'Bell Flower' pattern. Of striking architectural form with sharply faced sides and a cruciform foot, the rim painted in bold enamel bands of green, mauve and blue, the interior decorated with stylised pendant orange Bell flowers on green stems. Hand painted Clarice Cliff signature and decorator's numerals to the base. This sculptural jug represents one of her experimental early shapes, produced in very limited numbers before commercial standardisation of her jug forms. The combination of an uncommon pattern on such a technically challenging form is particularly unusual; no identical example of this shape and decor is recorded in recent auctions. No chips or cracks.
