SERVIETTE RINGS – SHAPE NUMBER 556 This square-shaped number 556 Serviette Ring was produced between 1931 and 1936, and again briefly after 1948, in one size only. Circular “My Garden” serviette rings were also made, but the rarest of all are the Impressions animal shaped rings which were also designed by Clarice Cliff (see p. 179 Clarice Cliff for Collectors by Greg Slater). A rare Blue Firs 556 example is in this sale along with the more frequently seen Pink Pearls.

ORANGE TREES & HOUSE MINIATURE VASE Lovely example of that rare combination of pattern and shape in miniature form! This 177 miniature vase series were sold as sets (although a complete set is extremely rare) AND were used as samples by the Bizarre ware salesmen. Marjory Higginson was one of the paintresses who decorated Trees & House. They were produced between 1928 and 1932 so there is plenty of choice on patterns, that’s if you can find them!
