This piece showcases Leach’s signature aesthetic earthy, expressive, and rooted in the traditions of English craft pottery. About the Potter Born in 1939 at the Leach Pottery in St Ives, John Leach was the eldest grandson of legendary potter Bernard Leach. His formative years were shaped by apprenticeships with David Leach, Colin Pearson, Ray Finch, and Bernard himself. After helping establish a pottery in California, John founded Muchelney Pottery in 1965, where he developed a distinctive style inspired by the Somerset landscape and a commitment to sustainability. ? In the mid-1980s, John planted and nurtured a woodland to sustainably fuel his kilns-an enduring legacy of his environmental ethos. ?

Size: 7.6 cm tall, approximately 5 cm across the flat sides. Condition: Very good condition, no chips cracks or restoration. The great Bernard Leach adopted the philosophy that a potter’s task was to reveal their soul through their pots. Although this beautiful little vase was probably not made by him (not bearing his personal mark), it exemplifies that philosophy perfectly. The neat squaring up of the corners (making it almost an octagonal pot) and the gently incised decorative lines which emerge through the celadon glaze show care and precision and reveal the personality of the potter. The pot is hand thrown in buff clay, hand shaped and decorated and finish in a celadon glaze which has fired a glossy grey-green with many internal bubbles. The vase was wood-fired in the St. Ives three chambered kiln. It bears the St. Ives mark and the England stamp on the foot-rim. It probably dates to about 1970, although it is not easy to date this type of ware.
