Clarice Cliff - Frank Brangwyn - A limited edition 'Brangwyn' wall charger, circa 1935, painted with a processional scene of figures and animals to an exotic foliate setting, diameter 43cm, painted signature 'Frank Brangwyn' to reverse and the wording 'The Brangwyn panels designed for the Royal Gallery of the House of Lords 1925, first exhibited at Olympia 1933, painted by Clarice Cliff from one of the panels, A.Wilkinson, Royal Staffordshire Pottery, Burslem, Staffordshire, seemingly unfinished and not numbered, restored.   NB - This lot was made by Clarice Cliff in 1934-39 and depict life in Imperial India. The plaques are hand-enamelled with scenes from 'The British Empire Panels' designed by Frank Brangwyn. The Brangwyn panels were commissioned by Lord Iveagh for the House of Lords to commemorate deceased peers, though the designs were rejected by the House of Lords as too frivolously decorative. The panels are now on display at Swansea Civic Centre. Clarice Cliff adapted designs from three of Brangwyn's panels for these limited edition wall plaques.

Condition report
The plaque has been restored. There has been a break to the plaque just below half way and the plaque has been professionally restored. The repair is of a fair standard but is just visible so may well benefit from being re-worked.
