Bernard Howell Leach Studio Pottery Vase with Stylized Patterning

About the Item

An exceptional English studio pottery vase decorated with stylized patterning by renowned British potter Bernard Howell Leach (British, 1887-1979) and dating from the mid-20th Century. This stunning stoneware vase is of squat rounded shape standing on a narrow unglazed round foot and is decorated in think blue green glazes over brown with a shaped flat top rim and applied with abstract designs to two sides probably a branch with a hanging fruit. The design is picked out in tones of red and brown set against a white ground. The vase has similar brown patterning around the top rim and the glaze quality is simply superb and probably one of the finest examples of Bernard Leach work we have had the pleasure in offering. The vase has impressed BL seal mark along with a Leach Pottery mark and is also marked ENGLAND. Provenance: from the private collection of a gentleman. In good condition.

  • Beatrice Wood Signed Midcentury California Studio Pottery Luster Glaze Vase
    By Beatrice Wood
    Located in Studio City, CA
    A wonderful gem of a piece by famed American/California ceramicist Beatrice Wood featuring her highly coveted, gorgeously radiant turquoise luster glaze. A beautiful design with a delicate long neck rising from a circular base. Classic and timeless. Signed by Beatrice in her customary "Beato" on the underside of the base (with noted inventory number). Would be an amazing addition to any Mid-Century Modern pottery collection or personal collectors of her work or a fabulous stand-alone accent piece in about any setting. One of the best Beatrice Wood's luster glaze vases we have come across in quite a while. Know famously in the art world as "The Mama of Dada", Wood lived a long (1893-1998) and very fruitful, creative life and is considered by many experts and collectors alike to have been a centerpiece in the modern ceramic art movement of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. At one point in her career, Wood studied with master potters Otto and Gertrud Natzler and later become famed in her own right for her distinct luster-glazing techniques. In 1994, the Smithsonian Institution named Wood an "Esteemed American Artist". Her other awards include: 1994 Governor’s Awards for the Arts (California) 1993 Recognition as A Role Model by Women in Film 1992 Gold Medal for Highest Achievement in Craftsmanship, American Craft Council 1988 Distinguished Service Award, Arizona State University 1987 Fellow of American Craft Council Women’s Art Caucus, National Award (NCECA Award) 1986 Women’s Building Award 1984 Living Treasure of California 1983 Symposium Award of the Institute for Ceramic History 1961 Goodwill Ambassador from USA...
