Bernard Leach Rare Early Fish Glazed Tile Dated 1933

About the Item

A rare glazed hand crafted studio pottery tile decorated with two fish by renowned English potter Bernard Leach CBE (British, 1887-1979) and made at the Leach Pottery in St Ives, Cornwall and dated 1933. The stoneware tile is thickly potted of small square shape, the front glazed and hand decorated with two stylized fish decorated in brown on a cream glazed ground. The tile also has four small roundels applied to the four corners with the top two bearing a Leach Pottery mark along with an BL monogram for Bernard Leach and the bottom two bearing the date 1933. The rear of the tile is unglazed and formed in four sections each with a clear impressed Leach Pottery mark. Provenance: Acquired from the estate of Richard Batterham who was based at the Leach Pottery as an apprentice from 1957 and acquired several pottery items from Bernard Leach and other potters operating there at the time. Thence consigned by a gentleman owner and collector. In presentable condition with a small area of surface glaze loss along to one of the fish. A very rare example.
