She studied and practiced ceramics in Vienna before fleeing to London in 1938. During the war years she designed glass buttons like these for Fritz Lampl, another Viennese émigré who had re-established his firm Bimini (later known as Orplid) in London. In 1945 she developed her own business making ceramic press-moulded buttons, buckles and tableware at Albion Mews, near Hyde Park. After the war, Rie became known for her elegant stoneware and porcelain vessel forms with gentle ribbed patterns and textured surfaces and taught at Camberwell and the Royal College of Art, whilst continuing to make buttons for couture designers. Her studio has been reconstructed at the V & A Museum. reference term-110488 adlib-term-110488 4503a73a-ae49-3f4d-8814-88925dcd11a3 20th Century, Mid reference term-106216 adlib-term-106216 825b8379-ec94-388e-9a59-624e40c090d0 literal England England country London green reference term-91170 adlib-term-91170 d49ca0b4-ccae-3039-afe0-882c186cff25 glass Diameter cm 4 reference term-129991 adlib-term-129991 93c868ca-4d3d-37b1-93d4-b1446ed12d47 buttons history note Inherited by the donor from his father, John Simon reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Ref. 131 reference publication-8484 adlib-publication-8484 3fb4b015-e321-3460-844b-984eb8a2d1e8 Lucie Rie: Modernist Potter Ref.
