Lucie Rie

Dame Lucie Rie (1902, 1995) was an Austrian-born British studio potter widely regarded as one of the most significant ceramicists of the twentieth century. Known for her elegant, finely thrown forms with subtly textured and richly glazed surfaces, she developed a distinctive aesthetic that blended modernist sensibility with timeless simplicity. Her work, produced from her studio in Albion Mews, London, profoundly influenced generations of studio potters and is held in major museum collections worldwide.
