About the Item

A studio ceramic bowl made by Dame Lucie Rie (1902-1995) circa 1950s. The bowl, iconic in the repertoires of the celebrated British potter has an organic form, elegantly posed with slightly squeezed oval body supported by the small foot ring. The surface is covered in a white gloss glaze. Around the mouth rim, the darker magnesium glaze was applied artistically to a feathering effect. The base was impressed with the artist's seal mark R. Biography: Dame Lucie Rie (1902-1995) was an Austrian-born British studio potter. Her unique and complex slip-glaze surface treatment and inventive kiln processing influenced an entire generation of younger British ceramists. Educated at the Vienna Gymnasium and at the Arts and Crafts School, Rie settled in England in 1938 and, in order to survive during World War II, produced and sold fine ceramic buttons. In 1947 she was joined in her studio by the German-born Hans Coper. Rie had her first solo show as a potter in 1949, then in the Arts Council Retrospective of 1967, showed with Coper in Rotterdam in 1967 and Hamburg in 1972, and was given major exhibitions in Düsseldorf, West Germany, in 1978, and in London at Sainsbury Place and the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1981–82. She was made Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1991.

Dame Lucie Rie, 1950's Porcelain Footed Bowl with Manganese Glaze.

By Lucie Rie

Located in London, GB

This is a great example of a Lucie Rie iconic hand-thrown, footed bowl with manganese glaze. It is thinly potted and slightly pulled into an ovoid shape with an undulating rim. The running glaze is subtle whilst adding an individual element to the decoration of the bowl. The bowl bears the artist's monogram seal mark under. Lucie Rie was an Austrian-born British ceramics artist. Rie’s works, usually consisting of hand-thrown pots, bottles, and bowl forms, are noteworthy for their Modernist forms. Born in 1902 in Vienna, Austria, she studied pottery at the Vienna Kunstgewerbeschule, a school of arts and crafts. In 1937, she won a silver medal at the Paris International Exhibition and by the following year, Rie moved to London to flee Nazi Austria. Once settled in the British capital, she maintained a small studio and continued to produce pottery and small clay objects, including ceramic buttons and jewellery which she sold to support herself. She was later joined by Hans Coper, a young artist who soon became a partner in her studio. She taught at the Camberwell School of Art from 1960...
