Amelie Richter (Bavarian-French, 20th Century) Studio Pottery Plate

About the Item

Hand made glazed studio pottery shallow bowl or plate by Amelie (Amely, Aly) Richter, in plum, lavender and black ues. Signed Aly Richter on underside. Before her marriage to Dr Georg Martin Richter, in November of 1920, naturalised American citizen, Amelie (Amely, Aly) Richter, had been a Baroness, born in Bavaria and raised in France. A long-time hobbyist, after Dr Richter’s death in 1942, Amelie opened her own studios for art and interior design in New York and London, where she refurbished and embellished old furniture. Inspired by her many trips with Georg to museums and archives, Amelie was known to utilise motifs borrowed from prehistoric cave paintings and American Indian art, and to accent her pieces with semi-precious stones, in shades of purple and turquoise. After directing the arts and crafts department at private high schools in Arizona and California, between 1947 and 1951, Amelie moved to Boston where she studied ceramics at the Museum School of Fine Arts, under the tutelage of Norman Arsenault. She continued her training at the Alfred University where she took technical classes in glaze calculations and clay-body composition, before becoming a member of the Pottery Workshop of Boston. 10 years after Gigi’s departure to England, in 1955 Amelie joined her daughter in England, founding her own pottery workshop in Thriplow, Cambridgeshire. Amelie’s ceramic works have been exhibited at museums across the United States, where they have received widespread acclaim.
