Cliff is famous across the world for her colourful pottery that was developed in the 1920s and 30s, called “Bizarre-ware”.

From bright, bold colours to new shapes and patterns, her designs were seen as exciting and hyper-modern to buyers.

“Women today want continual change, they will have colour and plenty of it,” she said in 1930.

Relative Mark Cliff, who was at the unveiling of the plaque with his daughter, said it was a “momentous occasion and wonderful for what she had done for the area and for women.”
