Seeing Flavin's work alongside that of Rie and
Coper not only let one better appreciate the ceramics, too, as more than just functional objects, but also made it possible to get a fuller sense of the former.

Coper, covered in a black matt glaze.
Coper, another of the most important figures in the 20th century studio pottery movement, had been interned as an enemy alien and held in Canada for two years and then served as a conscientious objector in the Pioneer Corps.

Coper, had combined two units into a hollow form set vertically on a small moulded base.

coper.
"The child partner may lack self-esteem or be a supreme
coper who wants a break," she added.
My friends see me as the
coper or the organiser, so I tend to be first port of call when anyone's has a hard time.
