Lorna Bailey

[2][1] At the same time, Bailey began designing a series of cottage and trees and abstract patterns based on the pottery of Clarice Cliff.

In December 1995, when Bailey was 17, her House and Path and Sunburst patterns were put into full production.

[1] These were painted by Bailey and a small team of painters onto a range of shapes, including vases, jugs, teapots, sugar shakers, cruets, candlesticks, and wall pockets.

[2] In 2001 the LJB Ceramics shop closed, to move away from an area used for solicitation by prostitutes, which the firm claimed was affecting their business.

This event was marked by the issue of a small ceramic wedding cake which was sent out as a gift to all Collectors Club members.

[8] In December 2005, Bailey issued the first of a series based on Pop and Rock Legends of the Twentieth Century with a ceramic figure of John Lennon dressed in the outfit pictured in the album Sgt.
