Clarice Cliff was born in 1899 in Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent and by the time she was 13 she had started an apprenticeship at a local pottery. When she was 17 she had joined A.J. Wilkinson’s who were a successful Burslem pottery. Her talent was soon spotted and in 1922 she was made an apprentice modeller and started working in the factory’s design studio.
