Bernard Leach

'Leaping Salmon' vase from the Milner-White collection at York Art Gallery

Well he established the Leach Pottery, St Ives, so they usually go in that thread if anyone is lucky enough to own one :)

Esoteric pot that - transports you to another place, another time

We have separate threads for both Michael.Cardew, Ray Finch and David Leach on here. So it only surely seems only right that Beranrd should have a separate thead of his own.

Agree, surprised we did not have a separate one already.

Here's another slab bottle like the one above in the Fitzwilliam.

…. and the base with the BL seal. The St. Ives seal is opposite but partly covered by the glaze within the foot.

Here's a Bernard Leach bottle in the Leach Pottery earlier this week. It's currently on loan there from the Royal Cornwall Museum.

Here's a group of pots by Bernard Leach that I sold some years ago.

A Bernard Leach fluted vase also sold.


Quite simple but, if my memory serves me correctly, was very well potted and had a "presence" in real life.

Made circa 1935. At the Walker Art Gallery Liverpool.

Earthenware slip decorated dish at the Walker Gallery, Liverpool. A genuinely rare and valuable piece, made in 1926 .

Perhaps put this here? Not sure N?
