About the Item

A 1970s studio pottery vase by Carn, Cornwall. Rare facetted, hand built woodcut mould design. With tubline decoration highlighted with mossy glaze. This listing is for one vase. The vase shown for sale here is the one on the right in the photo. Carn is the only surviving pottery out of the iconic 1960’s and 1970’s Trio of Cornish potteries – Carn, Tremaen and Tremar. The Pottery was established in an old chapel by John Beusmans in 1971 in the village of Nancledra near St. Ives in Cornwall. John studied at Redruth Art College with his parents encouragement. His parents owned a retail pottery shop which exposed John to a lot of Cornish pottery styles. (Incidentally his parents also made the lamp shades for the renowned Troika lamp bases.) John quickly developed his own very recognisable style. John’s work displays an artist’s skill in his use of sculptural shape and form – and most pieces have many different viewing angles, as does good sculpture.

Circle of Henry Moore, Bronze Sculpture circa 1960, Signed H. Lurie
By Henry Moore
Located in London, GB
Circle of Henry Moore, Bronze Sculpture circa 1960, Signed H. Lurie. Cast at the Morris Singer Foundry in London, which was used extensively by Henry Moore to cast his works between 1961 and 1984. In 1967 the foundry was moved from London to Basingstoke. The stamp 'Morris Singer Founders London' on our sculpture means that it predates this move. Morris Singer is the oldest established fine art foundry in the world and has worked with most of the major sculptors from Thornycroft and Gilbert in the early days to Barbara Hepworth and Jacob Epstein, and many more recent artists like Eduardo Paolozzi, Michael Sandle and Philip Jackson...

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...
