Bernard Leach Mid-Century Studio Pottery Salt Glazed Vase

About the Item

A stylish mid-century salt glazed hand crafted studio pottery vase by renowned English potter Bernard Leach CBE (British, 1887-1979) and made at the Leach Pottery in St Ives, Cornwall around 1957/58. The stoneware vase stands on a flat narrow round base and is of ovoid shape with a flaring cylindrical neck. The vase has a natural salt glazed finish highlighting the brown tones of the clay and clearly showing the craftsmanship and tooling work to the body of the vase. The vase has an impressed Leach Pottery mark along with an impressed BL seal mark. Provenance: Acquired from the estate of Richard Batterham (British, 1936-2021) who worked as an apprentice at the Leach pottery from 1957 and acquired a number of pieces directly from the other potters working at the pottery as well as Bernard Leach himself. Thence consigned by a gentleman owner and collector. In good condition with wear associated with age and use.

Stylish Pair Graduated Brown Glazed Studio Pottery Moon Vases
Located in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire
A very well made and stylish pair graduated studio pottery moon vases believed to date from the 20th century and probably originating from the UK. The stoneware vases are lightly potted standing on flat narrow oval shaped bases and both are hand crafted in narrow round moon shape with short narrow funnel necks and slighted everted thicker opening. The vases are decorated in splashed tenmoku brown glazes on a red brown glazed ground with a linear pattern running diagonally across the bodies. Both vases have impressed marks which we have been unable to identify, one with a series of collectors paper labels suggesting possible makers. However we have been unable to verify any of these. The dimensions provided are for the larger vase and the smaller example measures: height 16 cm, width 12.5 cm and depth 4.5 cm. Absolutely stunning display pieces...
