Bizarre

Here is a little coffee set with a really weird design, that i can only assume is a stylized lily pad and lotus flower. It is easy to see how Clarice Cliff and Susie Cooper had so much influence over ceramic design of the early 20th century and how Staffordshire potteries where desperate not to miss the boat on their brightly coloured, simple designs. It's weird, but i love it. You might be able to make out that the mould shapes for the set are the same as that used for my 1920s Egyptian deco coffee set which can be found elsewhere on my blog.
