Footnote
This pouring vessel was made during the period that Rie and Coper shared her London studio, and is impressed with both maker's marks. It is a rare model, and it is thought that Rie designed models from this set, whilst Coper glazed them, as Rie stated she would have applied a narrower cream band to the rim. The V&A Museum hold a jug and two beakers of a similar design.
