London, England, August 27, 2008--A spot of tea, anyone? An employee at the auction house Bonhams lays out more than a hundred teacups by designer Clarice Cliff that will come up for auction on September 23.

The cups, each valued between U.S. $180 and $1,100, are believed to be the largest collection by the designer best known for her bizarre style that flourished in the 1920s and '30s.

Since Cliff's death in 1972, her work has steadily increased in value, according to Bonhams.
