オーストリア・ウィーン出身の20世紀を代表する陶芸家ルーシー・リー。
作家としての地位を確立しながらも1938年にナチス・ドイツのオーストリア併合の影響などでロンドンへ移り、戦時下の影響で陶器を作ることができず生活が困窮していた時に、Bimini創業者のフィリッツ・ランプの誘いを受けガラスボタンの製造に携わり、のちに自身のスタジオで陶製のボタンを製作。

Lucie Rie, a leading 20th-century ceramicist from Vienna, Austria.
Although she had established herself as an artist, she moved to London in 1938, partly as a result of Nazi Germany’s annexation of Austria. Unable to produce ceramics due to the effects of the war and facing financial hardship, she accepted an invitation from Fritz Lampl, the founder of Bimini, to work in the manufacture of glass buttons; she later went on to produce ceramic buttons in her own studio.
