Eric Leaper

It may be the photo's or just how I am looking, but it looks even more exaggerated /stylised than the other.

Great deal Dan, it is a really nice piece.

A rather untypical trio,the centre piece being signed and rare as hen's teeth

today I was inspecting the vase before listing and found a signature. I now suspect these 3 have always been a set and were made to be displayed together

here are some images of the  napier6331 Leaper collection, several pieces I haven't seen before!!

that third photo cantre bull is marvelous

yes it's pure Bill Fisher

dishes with handles 12.5 cm diameter

Just got hold of this pair of plates Newly
Guessing 1970s

1960's or 70's

a rare Leaper Newlyn fish wall plaque

Hi there I have just joined this forum and I own three pieces of Eric Leaper Newlyn Pottery I would like to share. The large stylised bull has a possible repair to one of the horns although going by the length it could just be a firing anomaly. The large Bull/Lion is perfect as is the vase which is in a design I haven't seen anywhere else. Hope you like them Steve

Less common glaze that fired really well

Good day everyone.

Triangle multicolored plate, hand signed on the base.
The main color of the glaze is green, in the center three free form "petals" formed by crystalline glaze (?), if I'm not mistaken. The design colors are mainly blue with violet/purple gradient. Between "petals" on the green color of glaze, brown color present in free form.  
Base is unglazed. I believe, it is hand painted in pinkish color. Signature incised, and white clay is visible in it.  

Approx. sides dim.: 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" x 6 1/2";
approx. height - 7/8"

Crazing is minor and looks rather like a few are not straight long lines, than netting. A few scratches on the surface present.  
Signature is an absolute puzzle for me.
Plate was purchased in Florida in an estate sale.

If anybody could recognize the work, or decipher the signature, I will greatly appreciate it.

Thank you in advance.

Sennen bird from the 1980s

Picked up a lovely vivid drip glazed part tea service
they remind me very much of 60's decoration but much
more likely from the more recent times would love to
get any ideas on where or when it may have been made
thanks for looking.

I think this is Eric Leaper, Newlyn. The teawares are often unmarked like my mugs.

yes it's Leaper's later work when he moved to Sennen

No wonder i have not been able to find it looking all around the
German Mid Century Modern studio potteries etc.
Thank you very much

Have a great new find such bright rich coloured glaze. I’m assuming this is from the 1960s. Also appears to have a sparkly metallic glaze in parts with texture to it. Could anyone tell me how this was achieved or what was used in the process. Thank you

Thank you for this comprehensive introduction! Love his work.

The joy and the pain of buying online…..Eric leaper Chinese war horse sleeper…..Wanted one for years I have been patiently waiting and waiting….Bingo….Evri delivery and the joy turns to pain…..But the seller was very kind and I got to keep him….The search starts again….

no point in using evri. - you save 50p and lose the object. Royal mail is very reasonable now and better - more professional staff who care - just my experience

Depends on the local staff, I find the exact opposite. Though if i am sending something of any value, I always try and use DPD where possible.
