About the Item

A very fine vintage handcrafted Studio Pottery miniature tenmoku glazed vase by renowned potter Atsuya Hamada (Japanese, 1932-1986) and made at the Leach Pottery in St Ives, Cornwall dating from around 1958. Richard Batterham (British, 1936 – 2021) whose personal collection this delightful vase comes from was greatly influenced by the work of Atsuya Hamada, the son of Shoji Hamada, and who worked at the Leach Pottery from 1956. Hamada potted on a kick wheel which he had brought to the pottery from Japan and was operated by the potters feet. This delightful miniature stoneware vase stands on a narrow flat unglazed foot with an unglazed lower edge and is of rounded bulbous shape with a narrow neck and fold back wide top rim. The vase is decorated in black and brown tenmoku glazes with abstract patterning to two sides and has an impressed Leach Pottery England mark to the lower edge. Provenance: Acquired from the estate of Richard Batterham, who spent two years from 1957 as an apprentice working alongside Bernard Leach at the Leach Pottery and was greatly influenced by the work of Atsuya Hamada who started working at the pottery around the same time, the son of Shoji Hamada. He acquired a number of pieces directly from the artists he worked with and also through Hay Hill in London. Thence consigned by a gentleman owner and collector. In good condition.
