Susie’s favourite part of the House:
It is impossible to choose a single favourite part of the House, but I can say that one of my favourite things is Lucie Rie’s The Wave (Jim Ede’s name for it), I love everything about it: its position in the House, on a slate table, below three collages by Italo Valenti; the way that light from the skylight above bounces into the bowl and catches the glaze; its shape and texture; the whiteness of it and its undulating rim. I get pure, simple pleasure from it.
