1933 Clarice Cliff “Secrets” Pattern Daffodil Shape Jug – Scarce Form
A striking and highly collectible Clarice Cliff daffodil shape jug in the sought-after “Secrets” pattern, dating to circa 1933. This example showcases one of Cliff’s more sculptural and whimsical forms, with the elegant daffodil silhouette adding dimension and movement to the bold Art Deco decoration.
Standing approximately 7.75 inches tall, this is a scarce shape that is far less commonly encountered than standard forms. The “Secrets” pattern is beautifully rendered here, with strong color and clean, confident design that exemplifies Cliff’s innovative approach during the early 1930s.
Both decorative and historically significant, this piece is a representation of British Art Deco ceramics and would make a standout addition to any serious Clarice Cliff collection or curated interior.
