New film starring Bridgerton's Phoebe Dynevor puts trailblazing Art Deco designer and craftswoman Clarice Cliff back in the spotlight
Best known for her ceramic pieces characterised by bold outlines and a vivid colour palette, Cliff was initially derided by the men who dominated her industry
As a young child, it was my job to lay the table whenever we visited my grandmother’s home. My introduction to ceramics came as I put out her everyday Poole Pottery service, a pale turquoise dual-tone affair with a dolphin backstamp on the reverse. But sometimes I would sneak a look at the top shelf of her kitchen dresser and my eyes would be drawn to The Tea Set That Was Never Used—a jaunty collection of angular, inverted conical shapes for the cups and matching pots, jug and sugar bowl, in a daring clash of orange and blue hues. “That is Clarice Cliff,” my grandmother told me. “She was a very famous designer once upon a time.”
Outside ceramic and pottery circles, the name of Clarice Cliff may not be so well known these days but Caspian Films’s new drama, The Colour Room, directed by Claire McCarthy from a screenplay by Claire Peate, is bringing Cliff’s achievements back into the spotlight. Best known for her Art Deco-inspired pieces, characterised by bold outlines and a vivid colour palette, Cliff’s quirky angular shapes were initially derided by the men who dominated the industry. However, she soon proved there was a market for her designs, becoming the first British woman to become a head designer and later having her own factory. At its height, between the wars, her business sold 8.4 million items, including tea sets, jazz-age figurines and her signature Yo Yo vases, to Australia, New Zealand and the US.
“The film captures the atmosphere of the time brilliantly,” says the potter Emma Bailey. “I heard stories from my grandparents, who also worked in the industry, and it was a world devoid of colour. And then this young woman came along and turned the industry upside down.” Bailey started off painting Cliff reproductions for Wedgwood and has been described as her heir. She brushes this off and says she designs what she feels. But, she adds: “It is like Clarice is in me.”
It was a world devoid of colour. Then this young woman came along and turned the industry upside down
Emma Bailey, potter
The Colour Room, with Phoebe Dynevor, one of the stars of the racy Netflix period drama Bridgerton, as Cliff, alongside David Morrissey and Matthew Goode, focuses on Cliff’s early life and career that began when she left school at 13 to start work as an enameller at a local factory near Stoke-on-Trent, the huddle of six English towns at the heart of the area known as The Potteries. It was the centre of the ceramic industry and many commercial producers as well as smaller studios still have a presence there today.
Noted for its huge bottle kilns—the standard bearers for the area’s ambition for Unesco World Heritage Site status that are seen at the beginning of the film belching black smoke—The Potteries is a fine example of the UK’s industrial as well as artistic heritage. In the 1920s, the whole area was choked with smoke and grit, says Bailey. In this monochrome world, it is no wonder that the young Clarice stood out. The film’s producer Thembisa Cochrane and her team went to great lengths to recreate an authentic landscape, filming at Middleport Pottery, where we first meet Cliff. She bursts onto the screen in a glorious teal coat, as if to insist she would not allow herself—or her revolutionary ideas—to blend into the sooty surroundings. This and the film’s other striking costumes are by Anushia Nieradzik, who is also a painter—a combination deliberately harnessed by the production team, Cochrane says.
Specialist advice on the film came from one of the world’s foremost experts on Cliff, the auctioneer Will Farmer, who is the ceramics and glass expert on the BBC’s Sunday-evening staple Antiques Roadshow. Eagle-eyed Roadshow watchers may also spot his cameo performance in an early scene. Farmer was joined by the ceramicist and lecturer Louise Adams—granddaughter of John Adams of Poole Pottery fame—who, with her partner Mark Delf, was the on-set modeller and sculptor. This meant that a full artistic team was able to coach the cast, who needed to be able to handle clay convincingly. Delf was also responsible for the reproduction of Cliff’s bust of the first wife of her employer, Colley Shorter. He commissioned the bust from her when he became aware of her talents—he saw potential in Cliff’s eye for colour and her business savvy. Cliff and Shorter later married, and their affair is a key element of The Colour Room’s story.

Black 18th Century
“I am America. I am the part you won’t recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own; get used to me.” Muhammad Ali.
I’ve been thinking about this since the death of Muhammad Ali, about the importance of black people in society through history and that even nowadays is hardly represented. And in the 18th century, even less represented.
So, let me tell you that finding this images was not easy at all. First of all, since my inspiration was Ali’s black pride, I didn’t want portraits showing black men, women or children in slavery or service position. I wanted beautiful, proud and powerful portraits. And I found them :)
Of course I also wanted some strong characters from tv and film and, you know what? IT WAS FUCKING HARD. Not because there are not many black strong characters in 18th century dramas (even though there actually are not many), BUT because there are not many images of them in the internet. Which, let me tell you Internet, THAT SUCKS.
For example, try googling “Abigail Jordan Turn”. Google it, I’ll wait here (or click the link). There are just a few images of any of both actors (Idara Victor and Aldis Hodge) and of those there are even less with just the two of them or any of them alone. There’s usually also a white character in that photo.
Of course Gugu Mbatha-Raw’s photos were easier to find, since she’s the main actress of “Belle”, it would have been ridiculous to not find photos of her. On the other hand, have you seen Amazing Grace? Do you remember the ONLY black character of this movie? Well, apparently there are only A FEW of different photos of Youssou N'Dour as Olaudah Equiano on a fast Google search.
Finally let me tell you I saw a Mexican/Spanish film this weekend called El Baile de San Juan (I’ll make a full post about that) about a pair of lovers in the last decade of the 18th century in the New Spain. There are two black characters, and one of them is this woman called María Fé (portrayed by Sylvie Henry) who is basically the link between all stories and characters, so she’s there the WHOLE movie, the story flows because of her. She’s got a son (Jacinto, portrayed by the beautiful Yotuel Romero) which is a small character. Her costume is very likely one of the most historically accurate from the movie and it’s gorgeous (from the earrings she wears, to her hair, her chintz print petticoat… everything). But you know something? The photo I posted here is the only decent one on the internet of her, no promo shots, no stills, no nothing. As if the only characters in the movie are the two (boring) main characters and the European ones.
And this is only a little example of the lack of representation nowadays of black people. But, let me let you go with this thought: this post is about black people and it was hard, if I would have looked for mestizo and mixed raze representation in the 18th century (and nowadays) I would have to stick to casta painting and a few American portraits just to get that in the media, we Latin people (and all people of colour) are pretty invisible.
But let’s better take a look at the photos from top and you all should reblog and add images of 18th century black people <3
