Lucie Rie — Monumental 'knitted' bowl
Lucie Rie

Monumental 'knitted' bowl

1978

A monumental stoneware bowl by Lucie Rie, distinguished by its signature "knitted" surface texture achieved through her meticulous sgraffito technique. The inlaid manganese creates a striking linear pattern beneath a cool grey glaze, producing a rhythmic, textile-like quality across the vessel's form. This work exemplifies Rie's masterful ability to bridge the tactile traditions of craft with a refined, modernist aesthetic.

Medium
stoneware, inlaid with manganese beneath grey.
