Vintage Royal Staffordshire Tonquin Clarice Cliff Gravy Boat & underplate

Vintage Royal Staffordshire Tonquin by Clarice Cliff Gravy Boat with Underplate – Plum Mulberry Transferware antique Royal Staffordshire gravy boat with underplate in the highly collectible “Tonquin” pattern by Clarice Cliff. This transferware piece features a rich plum/mulberry design showcasing an exotic, Asian-inspired landscape: a stately colonial-style house by a lake, a graceful sailboat, a bridge, swans, and intricate floral and foliage details. Clarice Cliff, one of Britain’s most celebrated ceramic artists, designed the Tonquin pattern in the mid-20th century, and it remains a sought-after favorite among collectors of English transferware. This piece was originally produced for the overseas market after WWII and is a fine example of timeless Staffordshire craftsmanship. Condition: • The gravy boat itself is in good vintage condition with typical light wear for its age. • The underplate has been repaired (please see photos). Still displays beautifully.
