Around 1915 (the later famous) Clarice Cliff was a lithographer at Hollinshead & Kirkham for a few years, at this time she attended evening classes at the Burslem School of Art and at the age of 17 went to work for A. J. Wilkinson.
In the 1930s Hollinshead & Kirkham introduced hand painted ‘fruit’ tableware and art deco shapes – with pattern names like ‘Luscious’ and ‘Autumn’ these attractive wares mimic the Worcester fruit painted wares.
