A rare Leaper vase that I picked up at a car boot for £2.00, sadly it is chipped and cracked but still displays well

WOW!!!
That has to be designed by Bill Fisher for the Leapers

Odd little vase signed Leaper, Newlyn

That is an unusual piece Naomi, nice thing.

I picked this bowl up yesterday and was surprised to find his signature mark underneath.

The one on the shelf is one of a few that we have and are more familiar with.

He is a potter I want to find a little more about, when I get chance.
I was told that his wild parties could be heard from miles away, though I do not know how much truth there is to that statement, but from little I have heard he sounded like a great character.

That’s bowl’s a lovely colour

I imagine this to be very rare; It is fantastic.

Yes, it is a bit chocolatey from a distance, rather scrummy.
It seems, from my limited experience of his work, quite an understated piece.

by **dantheman** June 11th 2018, 3:46 pm

of all the Leaper pieces posted on this forum,this is the one I would most like in My Leaper collection.......

Not difficult to see why Dan.

I just found this old pic of a Simon Leaper bull, I wish I still owned it

by **22 Crawford St.** October 5th 2018, 12:47 am

*gulp*

*wow*

That is an absolute beauty, surprised you parted with it.

Been having a trawl through Leaper listings on ebay and found a set of 6 Newlyn plates
I would say that I am amazed they haven't been snapped up, though pottery prices really do seem to be going lower & lower by the day. Still an absolute bargain though

by **NaomiM** October 5th 2018, 9:53 am

I think they are the wrong colour. Collectors prefer Leaper’s bright glaze colours rather than his browns and oranges. And his flatware isn’t as collectible as his animals

by **abstract toad** October 6th 2018, 10:43 am

Not as collectible, but at that sort of money they are a huge bargain. I remember paying around the £20 mark for single flatware pieces some years ago.

I got this one and a pile of cash in exchange

by **abstract toad** October 6th 2018, 11:14 am

Ooh you jammy dodger.
It makes perfect sense now. To be honest, I would have done a straight swop on those, with or without the cash, the second one is even better than the first for me. Were I to pick that up I would never put it down, looks very tactile. Do you know who it is by?

by **dantheman** October 6th 2018, 12:02 pm

it is even more tactile than it looks and was made by Simon too
