There are few pieces of pottery more recognisable than those designed by Clarice Cliff. For many the epitome of Art Deco; characterised by bold colour and lines; geometric shapes; and stylised representations of the countryside; Clarice Cliffs bizarre pottery is collected all over the world. Using a wealth of colour illustrations; Will Farmer traces the story of Clarice Cliff and the pottery that she created. Employed in The Potteries from the age of thirteen; Clarice was talented and resourceful; and in 1927 she was given her own studio at the Newport Pottery where; for the next twelve years; she produced a range of sought-after designs that have become icons of the age.

Did Tuttle ever publish a corresponding set of prints to go with this book? Or is there a collection that contains these particular paintings?1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A fantastic little book with beautiful art and meaningful haiku.By Joseph J. TruncaleEven though I have been interested in haiku and Asian art for more than thirty years; I had never read this book until recently. I love the unique approach the author uses; combining Asian art and haiku from the great masters of the past to create lessons in Zen meditation. This text covers fifteen Zen tenets; with each section showing an Asian piece of art along with several haiku. I really enjoyed the detailed explanation of each drawing and how it related to the specific Zen tenet. In conclusion; this is a book for anyone interested in Asian art; Japanese haiku and Zen meditation. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J.
