Occasionally I throw Lucie Rie or Hans Coper at ebay, only to have the same few publications resurface, periodically there will be an amazing piece which is always out of range. I caught this one late at night, from an Australian listing, and woke up to find it sitting in my inbox the next morning, joy. It's a small piece with a large history to be living with, stamped with both LR and HC seals (made by Coper) from Albion Mews Pottery 1940's. Beautiful manganese glaze, and subtle variation in wall thickness left from the throwing process.
