April 2012 Antiques and Collectors Sale (including
Selected Silver and Jewellery)
A George Jones majolica strawberry dish.
Estimate £100-£150.
Heading into an Easter weekend with the potential of snow seems a gloomy prospect.
However, Bearnes Hampton & Littlewood's sale of Antiques and Collectables, including
Silver and Jewellery, on Wednesday, 11th April 2012 is a brighter outlook
in more ways than one.
A Clarice Cliff Melon (Picasso fruit) pattern plate is an excellent example of the
vibrant colours used by Clarice Cliff in her designs and should easily achieve its
£80-£100 estimate. Clarice Cliff collectors will also be attracted by the Crocus
pattern preserve pot and the more unusual Clarice Cliff 'Erin' pattern milk jug
and sugar bowl, £40-£60 and £80-£100 respectively. A George Jones majolica strawberry
dish is another example of the bright colourful pieces of majolica made by this
well known Victorian maker. Despite missing the bird handle, the quality of George
Jones work should help it achieve its estimate of £100-£150.
A Clarice Cliff Melon (Picasso fruit) pattern plate.
