Janet Leach for Leach pottery bottle / vase
Janet Leach for Leach pottery bottle / vase. Janet Leach (nee Darnell) is a World famous potter. Her work is sought after by collectors of Leach pottery and by collectors who specifically like her work. Born in America in 1918 she was taught by Shoji Hamada in California and later went to work with him in Japan. This was unique at the time. Janet worked at the Leach pottery in St Ives, running the business after her husband passed in 1978 until she herself passed away in 1997. Janet’s work was somewhat overshadowed in her lifetime by Bernard’s work, her work being very different from Bernard’s although also influenced by the early Japanese potters. Janet trained under Shoji Hamada and spent time in Japan being the first foreign woman to be invited there. His influence can be seen in much of her work. Her work is free flowing and collected worldwide. My own collection of her work is centred on her vases and bottles. Only my personal choice. In reviewing my collection I have decided to sell some of my pieces to focus on acquiring others more pertinent to it. The bottle is free from damage of any kind or any restoration or repair. It is 23 cms in height. It bears Janet’s personal impressed mark together with the St Ives Leach pottery mark. The cost will vary from country to country from courier to courier and will depend upon weight and size of the parcel when packed. Thank you for looking at my items which will be updated regularly.
