History:
Conical sugar sifters were first introduced to England by Clarice Cliff in 1930 with the idea of cheering the population away from the general gloom following the Great Depression stock market crash of 1929.Their revolutionary new-age shape and vivid painting were not understood at all by the public and they initially turned out to be very poor sellers.
The initial unpopularity of these revolutionary sugar sifters slowly reversed itself and by WW2  had become one of their most sought after and highly desirable products!

'Yesterday'
is one of the Pottery's more popular designs. Use them as a pair of salt and pepper shakers if you don't want them for cabinet display or re-sell them on eBay in your home country (with cheap postage) for a tidy profit!
'Yesterday'
(
Wizard of Oz re-visited). Tells its own true but slightly forlorn story of 'hope' following the American Stock Market collapse of 1929 and the onset of the Great Depression. It's modelled on the historic village of Bangalow near Byron Bay. All of the shops depicted are still in existence today and of course with the passage of time, their prosperity
has
totally returned.
'Yesterday'
depicts its stylised presentation of this 1930's group of village shops on a mythical yellow brick road of intrigue and adventure, overseen by a group of old terrace houses high on the hill above the town. All this nestled below a magical blue-leafed tree of 'Hope' and 'Prosperity'.
