Leach standard ware 1 pint tankard. Though this tankard was made at the Leach pottery and bears the clear mark associated with that pottery started by Bernard Leach it was almost certainly not made by Bernard Leach and was made by one of the many potters who worked there from 1920 through to 1978 when Bernard Leach passed away. Pictured at number 39. 10 cms diameter across its base. It has no cracks, chips or restoration. 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.

Michael Cardew Vessel made at Leach pottery, St Ives. The vessel has calligraphic detail with the words’THE FUDLING CUP BY BACCHUS’ MIGHT TURNS NIGHT TO DAY & DAY TO NIGHT’. It has a pale yellow, straw coloured glaze. 12.5 cm tall. 10 cm base diameter. The tankard is damaged with a repair to the rim and wearing to the glaze on the handle as shown in the photographs at the end on the listing. Very clear early impressed mark for Michael Cardew. I have only seen this mark detailed in text books and this work is rare, I understand from research that the lozenge MAC mark on this piece was the impressed mark from his ring as he didn’t at that time have a stamp for Leach pots. Clear impressed mark for the St Ives Leach pottery. Cardew first began as a potter training in Braunton, North Devon under William Fishley Holland. He moved to the Leach pottery in 1923 and then set up Winchcombe pottery in 1926 and later Wenford Bridge in 1939. In between he spent a considerable number of years setting up the now famous Dr Ladi Kwali pottery formerly known as the Abuja pottery in West Africa amongst others.
