William’Bill’ Marshall stoneware vase. Leach Potter. Bernard Leach Interest
William’Bill’ Marshall stoneware studio vase. Wonderful colour on this vase made by Bill Marshall. Bill must be described as Bernard Leach’s right hand man. Taken on as a Leach pottery apprentice Bill worked there for 40 years. He is seen as the most accomplished thrower of a pot at the leach and became the foreman. He also threw many of the pots decorated by Bernard Leach particularly when Bernard was in later life and couldn’t manage to throw them. Of all the Leach potters Bill is my personal favourite. This one only has Bill’s personal mark. There are two’grazed’ of the glaze one on the rim of the top of the pot (as photograph 10) and the other in photograph 3. There is no other damage or restoration that I can see. The vase stands 34 cms high. This item is in the category “Pottery, Ceramics & Glass\Decorative Pottery, Ceramics & Glass\Vases”.
