Its vivid turquoise surface creates a striking contrast with the restrained outline of the vessel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body narrows towards a compact base, while fine circular lines remain visible through the glaze. These introduce a subtle rhythm around the exterior, allowing the cup to retain a tactile character despite its economical form. The interior continues the blue glaze and is framed by the darker lip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the base, a narrow warm-toned band separates the coloured body from the foot. This small contrast gives definition to the lower edge, while the blue glaze draws attention to the continuous curve of the sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interplay of vivid colour and economical form gives the cup an intimate presence. Fine variations in the glazed surface catch the light as the vessel is turned, adding depth to the otherwise simple composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6.8cm(h) x 6cm(w)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFootnote\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLucie Rie was born in Vienna in 1902 and studied ceramics at the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts. She established a studio in 1925 and built an early reputation in Austria before fleeing Nazi persecution and settling in London in 1938. Working at Albion Mews, she developed refined vessels with experimental glazes and a modernist approach that differed from the prevailing British studio-pottery aesthetic. Her relationship with Hans Coper was important to both artists’ development. Her bowls, bottles and domestic wares became internationally recognised, and she was appointed a Dame in 1991. She died in 1995.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lucie Rie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57033640837506,"sku":"JP683","price":500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/3830\/4706\/files\/Lucie_Rie_JP683-1.jpg?v=1794560319"}],"url":"https:\/\/orientalteabox.com\/zh\/collections\/lucie-rie.oembed","provider":"OrientalTeaBox","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
