Property of Greenwich, CT Estate About: Clarice Cliff pottery continues to capture the eye of cultured collectors. Born in 1899 in Stoke-on-Trent, one of England?s hubs for ceramic production, Cliff began work as an apprentice decorator at a local pottery factory in her early teens. In 1916, Cliff took on a new position at the A.J. Wilkinson ceramic factory in Burslem, where her true talents as a ceramic artist were realized. In addition to sending her to London in the 1920s for a brief study stint at the Royal College of Art, Wilkinson?s owners also awarded Cliff her own studio at the nearby Newport Pottery factory.
