context_page_description: Dame Lucie Rie, DBE was an Austrian-born British studio potter.
context_section_description: While in Vienna, Lucie's uncle from her mother's side had a collection of art that inspired her interest in archeology and architecture.  She was first inspired by her uncle's Roman pottery collection which had been excavated from the suburbs of Vienna.
  She set up her first studio in Vienna in 1925 and exhibited the same year at the Paris International Exhibition. She was influenced by Neoclassicism, Jugendstil, modernism, and Japonism.
  In 1937, she won a silver medal at the Paris International Exhibition (the exhibition for which Pablo Picasso painted Guernica). Rie had her first solo show as a potter in 1949.
