Fliff Carr’s domestic ware is designed to be functional and made with the intention of evoking past lives and sense of found treasure. She has chosen specific images from a collection of sherds to make her own stamps with which to emboss and mark the new plates. Fliff has used white earthenware clay, hand-rolled, glazed with a matte velum and detailed with gold lustre. A past and present plate.

Fliff Carr is a designer and maker of simple yet refined ceramic tableware and interior products. Fliff has worked with clay in her studio in north London for the past 16 years.

“This collection of commissioned plates has evolved from conversations with Susanna about our shared interest in found objects, memory and historical reference, a love of collecting and my particular obsession with searching for ‘treasure’ on the Thames foreshore. I am drawn to images and objects of the past that I use to inform my work and inspire the making process. I love to create individual ceramic Delft pieces that elicit the desire in you to seek out the one to which you are most drawn, in the same way that I search for and find the objects that most excite me. The Delft ceramic fragments that I have embedded in these plate rims were mostly found in Suffolk and London. These are the broken bowls, cups and plates from centuries past reimagined for a 20th C table”.
