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

About the Item

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 until 1971, and in 1991 was honoured with the title of Dame Commander (DCE).

    By Cassina, Gio Ponti
    Located in London, GB
    A rare set of 10 Gio Ponti Leggera dining chairs. These chairs were in black lacquer finish but we have had them stripped back to the original ash wood in which these chairs were originally made. They have been refinished in an antique wax which retains their vintage patina but shows off the lovely ash wood grain patterns. We have also had them recovered in a new vintage steel grey velvet material. This makes for a unique set of Gio Ponti Leggera dining chairs manufactured by Cassina in the 1950s. We have extensive photos of the chairs in their pre-restored state that show these are genuine 1950s vintage chairs...
