Size: 15.5cm tall, 9.5 cm across rim, belly about 12 cm wide. Condition: Very good condition. There is a flat chip on the foot-rim, which may have been caused on removal from the kiln (sometime a stray glaze spot gets fused to the foot). This chip is not visible on display. This vase is a personally made piece by David Leach and carries his mark and the Lowerdown Pottery mark on the inside of the foot. It is decorated using a resist method with David’s signature “foxglove” motif, which reveals the tenmoku glaze underneath the overglaze which looks like ash glaze with the addition of dolomite. The thick overglaze has run in the firing to produce some wonderful curtained effects. Inside the vase is black/brown tenmoku and that glaze is also on the inside and outside of the foot. The vase is fired to stoneware. After learning his craft with his father, David set up the Lowerdown Pottery in Devon in 1955, and forged his own style with the intention of making domestic ware which was a real alternative to industrially produced pots. He also continued to make decorative items such as this vase, and his best work ranks among the most the most coveted studio pots.
