In this exciting new introduction by Isabella Smith, Lucie Rie's tumultuous life is explored through her extraordinary work. From early promise as a ceramic artist in Europe, Rie found herself on the verge of obscurity in Britain and spent her wartime 'cabbage-days' creating buttons to make ends meet. But by the 1950s, her intentionally flawed and experimental glazed designs had become popular British domestic wares. Her signature sgraffito technique and later 'flared-lip' vases are now among her most recognisable work. Today, as Rie's pots smash international auction records, interest in this émigré artist -who fled Nazi-occupied Europe to become an icon of ceramic art- continues to grow.
