British Studio Pottery Vase Lucie Rie Manner Modernist Signed R 21cm Vintage. A superb and intriguing vintage British studio pottery vase of exceptional Modernist form, dating approximately to the mid/late 20th century. Beautifully wheel-thrown with a rounded baluster body rising into a long, elegant waisted neck and an exceptionally wide flared trumpet rim. The exterior is covered in a wonderfully subtle ivory / oatmeal glaze with a softly textured, almost speckled finish, contrasting beautifully with the deep dark brown-black glaze to the interior of the flared rim. The underside has a neatly turned foot and bears an impressed potter’s seal, which appears to be a stylised letter “R” with an extended decorative flourish. Despite considerable research, I have unfortunately been unable to positively identify the potter. The quality of throwing, restrained glaze palette, thin flared rim and elegant Modernist proportions are strongly reminiscent of the post-war British studio pottery tradition and particularly the work and aesthetic associated with Dame Lucie Rie. Please note: this vase is NOT being attributed to Lucie Rie. The reference is purely stylistic and for descriptive purposes. Interestingly, authenticated Lucie Rie vases are well documented with closely related elongated forms and dramatically flaring lips, although her pieces bear her own distinctive impressed artist’s seal. A beautifully executed and very decorative piece of British Modernist studio pottery which displays wonderfully. The vase is in excellent condition as shown, all wonderful. If any studio pottery collectors recognise the distinctive impressed R potter’s seal, I would be extremely grateful to hear from you.

More research is required to identify the potter but the work is quite like that by Jill Crowley. They are very quirky & fun..

A fairly rare faceted studio pottery vase in the early Chinese manner by leading British potter Malcolm Pepper. Stoneware (I believe, rather than porcelain). Thrown and faceted form with applied lugs. Brushed red copper floral decoration over a crackled cream semi-matt glaze. Excellent condition, as new. Unmarked, as is the case with a fair amount of Pepper’s work (apparently he took to marking his pots at the end of his career after a curator complained that they were being mistaken for antique Chinese examples, which, while a problem, also seems like a fairly high compliment). Dimensions (approximate): 18cm x 15cm x 15cm. A lovely quality vase and a very good example of Pepper’s work. Malcolm Pepper was a very highly regarded potter of the post-war period, primarily producing works heavily inspired by Song Dynasty Chinese ceramics. Tragically, he suffered an early death in the 1980s, cutting off a flourishing and highly-regarded career just as he was receiving significant gallery attention.
