Room 142: Ceramics 20th-century studio
Pair of dishes by Lucie Rie, United Kingdom, 1967. Museum no. CIRC.1231-1967
The Lydia and Manfred Gorvy Gallery
Experimental and avant garde ceramics trace the development of studio (or handmade) pottery throughout the 20th century as it came to be seen as a sculptural and abstract art form in its’ own right. The displays are arranged chronologically and include work from North America, Japan and Europe, featuring the work of Bernard Leach, Pablo Picasso, Ruth Duckworth, Ryoji Koie, Alison Britton and Betty Woodman.
Room 142 is on Level 6 of the V&A South Kensington.
A gift in your will
You may not have thought of including a gift to a museum in your will, but the V&A is a charity and legacies form an important source of funding for our work. It is not just the great collectors and the wealthy who leave legacies to the V&A. Legacies of all sizes, large and small, make a real difference to what we can do and your support can help ensure that future generations enjoy the V&A as much as you have.
