Lucie Rie
Lucie Rie (1902-1995) is one of the most famous exponents of British studio pottery with a world-wide reputation and prices to match in stature. She emigrated to Britain from Austria during the Second World War and set up a studio in London.
For a while Rie worked with fellow émigré and studio potter Hans Coper who started as her assistant.
Rie’s pottery has a streamlined modernist aesthetic and is distinguished by its virtuoso glazing techniques.

British studio pottery – Art or artisan?
01 October 2018British studio pottery, once the preserve of a small number of devotees, currently ranks among the strongest subsets of the art and antiques market. In the first element of a two-part feature, ATG considers the London market.
![img_19-1.jpg](/media/33857/img_19-1.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131828689210000000)
From Lucie Rie to Magdalene Odundo: a ‘British’ tradition backed by overseas talent
01 October 2018The ‘British’ studio ceramics movement has long been backed by overseas talent. In addition to Lucie Rie, Hans Coper and Ruth Duckworth (nee Windmuller), who fled the Nazis in the 1930s, and Hamada Shoji’s collaboration with Bernard Leach, is the contribution of Kenyan-born Magdalene Odundo (b. 1950).

Lucie Rie - doyenne of the British studio pottery scene - continues to lead at auction

![img_26-1.jpg](/media/14189/img_26-1.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131387064700000000)
Studio ceramics in starring role at auction
08 May 2017Overshadowed by the boom in Chinese works and contemporary art they may have been, but the rise in demand for British studio ceramics has been the talk of the market these last few years.
![Lucie Rie bowl](/media/9052/lucie-rie-ceramic-bowl-2272nedi-21-12-16.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462557880000000)
Lucie Rie record broken for fourth time in two years as porcelain bowl takes $170,000 bid
21 December 2016The market for Lucie Rie ceramics continues to thrive. A new auction high for the doyenne of the British studio pottery movement was posted by Phillips in New York this month– the fourth occasion a record has been set in just two years.
![14-12-18-2171NE01A Lucie Rie bowl.jpg](/media/1666/14-12-18-2171ne01a-lucie-rie-bowl.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462558530000000)
Salisbury’s £47,000 record for Rie
18 December 2014The stock of the Austrian-born British studio potter Lucie Rie (1902-95) continues to rise in the saleroom.
![2065PV01I-12-11-08.jpg](/media/2957/2065pv01i-12-11-08.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462559470000000)
Right on the Maak
08 November 2012Specialist art consultancy Maak, established in 2009 by Marijke Varrall-Jones, former head of contemporary ceramics at Bonhams, holds specialist auctions of international studio ceramics twice a year.
Slow but certain tactics meet challenge of 200 clocks
13 October 2004DISPERSING 200 mixed-quality clocks may seem a daunting prospect for some provincial auctioneers, but, by selling the Staffordshire collection in bite-size chunks through their general, oak and country and fine auctions, Richard Winterton (15% buyer's premium) managed to get away almost all entries during the summer months.
Preview
18 August 2004THE August 25 sale at Burton-on-Trent auctioneers Richard Winterton includes a collection of studio pottery formed since the 1950s by the vendor who trained under, and for over 49 years has been a friend of, David Leach.
![1648DD01A.jpg](/media/6132/1648dd01a.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=131462562040000000)
New demand for studio pottery brings special show
13 July 2004SINCE 1986 Christopher Gange has been a dealer in 20th Century British Art at his Katharine House Gallery at The Parade, Marlborough, Wiltshire, but for the month of July, in a new departure, he is holding an important selling exhibition of British Studio Pottery, formerly part of his private collection.
Frisson for Fritsch, but Rie and Coper falter
08 October 2002A 221-lot auction of Contemporary Ceramics, made up the final instalment of Bonhams’ design week series on September 24. The two most bankable names in this market are Hans Coper and Lucie Rie and their work can usually be relied on to dominate the top price slots.
