Olle Alberius Tree of Life Charger Orrefors Gallery Sweden 1983

About the Item

Olle Alberius Tree of life glass charger with engraved glass and graal colours. Limited edition issue as part of the annual Orrefors Gallery pieces for 1983. Signed on the rim of the charger: Orrefors 9059290 Olle Alberius Gallery 16-83. The Orrefors Gallery was an annual, cataloged selection of pieces of art glass that ran during the 1980s and early 1990s. As well as reproducing some classic designs from earlier times, Orrefors used this series to commission designs, often Graal and Ariel pieces, from leading glass designers that were issued as very limited editions. They are now regarded as some of the best pieces of glass design from that period and are highly sought after by collectors. Olle Alberius (1923-96) was a leading designer of both glass and ceramics in Sweden in the post-war years. Most of his glass designs were produced by Orrefors, including in their prestigious Orrefors Gallery series which ran annually during the 1980s and early 1990s. His work can be found in the National Museum of Art and Design in Stockholm.

  • Lucie Rie Stoneware Jug in Manganese and White Glaze
    By Lucie Rie
    Located in Leicester, GB
    Lucie Rie Stoneware cream jug in manganese and pitted white glaze. With impressed LR mark. c1950s. Provenance: European Ceramics, Knaresborough, 2002. Alan and Pat Firth Collection. Lucie Rie DBE (1902-95) was one of the most important figures in Twentieth Century ceramics. Born in Vienna, she originally studied at the School of Applied Arts in Vienna under Michael Powolony. Before the war she exhibited at the Paris World Fair in 1925 and 1937, at which she won a silver medal. Of Jewish descent, she fled Austria for Britain in 1938 and spent the rest of her life in London. It is difficult to underestimate the importance of her work in Britain and indeed worldwide. She brought the style of European modernism to this country and inspired a generation of potters to develop that approach. A good friend of leading British studio ceramicist Bernard Leach, she became and internationally acclaimed ceramicist with innovations in both shape and glaze. In 1948 she hired a young Hans Coper and they worked and exhibited together for many years. She also spent some time teaching at Camberwell School of Art. Her ceramic work is now regarded as some of the finest and most important of the last century, its lasting influence assured. After her death her studio was reconstructed and exhibited by the Victorian and Albert Museum. Her work is held in the most important ceramics...
