I have a real love of her work and this collection is beyond wonderful. Thank you for being it's caretaker and moving it on so others will learn and love it as you have.
As it's caretaker, it is time to give others the chance to own a wonderful piece of Clarice Cliff's legacy which is still truly wonderful so thank you for your interest and kind comments 😊
Thanks to everyone for your interest in my story. It was a 40 year Labour of love but the time has come to pass on Clarice Cliff's legacy to the next generation. David and his wife Wendy are wonderful
Wonderful story. I know what is like to have the slag heap at the end of the road and what comes with that. Do think of writing down what you know. I am sure some of your neighbours would also have stories that could be included to tell the heritage story.
I will certainly give that consideration. The landscape here is totally different now the pits have gone but, we had a major pit disaster in 1909 where over 100 boys, children and men lost their lives and I will make sure the knowledge is passed on.
I absolutely loved this, what an amazing collection, well done. I was 16 in 1980, a coal miners daughter (two great grandfathers died down the pit) from a wee village in Scotland, I picked up my first piece of what became a passion for collecting ( German half dolls, powder compacts, sewing items, mid winter pottery, and on and on)a German half doll in a second hand shop ( vintage wasn’t a name in those days and second hand shopping was looked down on) my daughter says I was a trailblazer for reuse, repurpose, recycling before it became a thing😂. I’m just about 60 now and it’s time to organise where and what I will do with my finds, it’s not about the money but about preserving beautiful items made by artisans of years gone by. Thank you for letting us in❤
I was married to Lynn during her explosion of plates jugs etc etc. so know what was happening. 2008 - 2019 I have seen and watched the live auction. And know how much she made from that auction. No spoilers as to what she spent!!. The dog on the wall was called Jess - patterdale terrier she died 14 years old. Bless her.i do miss her and yes Lynn knows me. Ask her. David. @@DavidHarperAntiques
yes, wow just wow! and the colors are so vibrant even the blue wall is perfecly matching. And the story .. beautiful and interessting. Ive never seen Claris Cliff in the Netherland. a real shame, i would love to own such a gorgeous plate ..
Gosh , she could open a restaurant with all those. Wow. I know a friend who has a few pieces of Claris, but not that much. 😃 I prefer moorcroft, no particular reason though.
I know that lynn had to make a decision to sell said items and good luck to her... She knows who i am so no more to be said. The dog on the wall was called jess. Rest in peace xx miss you -- life was never the same without you.
(Drool) we only get the post-War pieces here. Maybe. Her upbringing sounds like when my grandparents were kids. Same work ethic too. Depression kids before the Depression.
I’d love a piece of Clarice in my collection. I’m not going for loads of pieces of 1 thing see I want at least 1 example of troika. 1 of Clarice etc etc. but havnt found the right piece at the right price. Where should I look? I don’t know enough to buy on eBay and the fella in Barny who sells the mouseman is quite expensive I find.

Wow! What a marvellous collection she has created. I hope she does very well at the upcoming auction.
I hope so too!
One of Lynn’s Clarice Cliff pieces will also feature in the next episode of Getting It Right! (Episode 7)

I know that some pieces will make a very high amount especially in the plates section.

the auction will be happy to post you one I’m sure!
So sorry to ask unrelated question but I love your dress. If you ever sell it please may I have first refusal .? Xx
Gosh , she could open a restaurant with all those. Wow. I know a friend who has a few pieces of Claris, but not that much. 😃 I prefer moorcroft, no particular reason though.
I do like a bit of Moorcroft myself. He was another interesting character too!

Lynn is such an interesting person. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting her
Wish David had pointed out specific pieces from the collection.
It was a general overview…all the items then went into auction where you could see their full descriptions
I’d love a piece of Clarice in my collection. I’m not going for loads of pieces of 1 thing see I want at least 1 example of troika. 1 of Clarice etc etc. but havnt found the right piece at the right price. Where should I look?

Genuinly take a look at Elstob’s sale. Not only this collection of Clarice, but other pieces too. link in video description
Seeing some of my own collection here! Spring Crocus and My Garden but wouldn't know where to start having mine valued
Search online. Loads of examples
@DavidHarperAntiquesTV it's my entire collection, not just a set
