Re: The Leach Pottery. St Ives
Seems Standard ware was even made back in the 40s

I've always assumed that those pieces stamped England indicated an earlier date (1940s), but I have nothing to back that up.

Re: The Leach Pottery. St Ives
'standard ware' range was not developed until just before the war, when they issued the first mail order catalogue, and it grew into a great undertaking into the 1950s and 1960s, I suspected this is the date for these items. I have items at home with the england mark well into the seventies, so not sure on that one.

Re: The Leach Pottery. St Ives
for the standard ware they had a team of potters, David leach as manager Bernard leach as chief quality controller and William Marshall as foreman, so it will be impossible to pin point a potter, although Bernard's distinct hand can sometimes be seen on some items

Re: The Leach Pottery. St Ives
I met one of the apprentices, who worked at the pottery in the 1960s, and he told me that these ramekins or egg bakers, were the first thing that anyone new at the pottery was asked to make. They were sold separately from the "general purposes dishes" that you have. They continued to be in production into the 1970s and only stopped being made when Bernard died. Bernard insisted that the pottery continued to make the Standard Ware range but once he died Janet stopped production.

Re: The Leach Pottery. St Ives
Has anybody got any pots with the St Ives mark on and David Leach's mark as well?

Re: The Leach Pottery. St Ives
I have had the small stoneware Leach Pottery vase below for a number of years but have not been able to identify the potter.
As the vase seemed Japanese in style and the personal seal is a stylised A, I did think that it might have been by Atsuya Hamada, Shoji's third son, who was at the Leach Pottery in the 1950s. However, I did show it to Bill Marshall in the past and he didn't recognise the seal so it may well remain a mystery.
The vase is around 10 cm (4 inches) tall so not very large but my investment was only 50p.

Studio Pottery Coffee Pot - Leach Pottery, St Ives, standard ware
Hi, bought this yesterday from a charity shop and wondering if anyone can supply any info regarding the maker. I think the seal/mark is an "S" but could be wrong.
Thanks

Re: The Leach Pottery. St Ives
Looks very like a Leach one.
http://www.studiopottery.com/cgi-bin/pp.cgi?item=2952
Could the mark be the St Ives mark?
If you google 'Leach coffee pot' you'll see some more.

That's what I was thinking Naomi, I have had a look at a few websites and sent off pictures to a few to get their opinion. Didn't want to give out my opinion in case I was just being a bit hopeful lol.

Re: The Leach Pottery. St Ives
It looks like a Leach Pottery Standard Ware coffee pot to me.

Re: The Leach Pottery. St Ives
Thanks Pots, that's what I was thinking myself. Picked it up for £2 in a charity shop that was having a clearance sale, had no idea of the origins when I bought it though.

Re: The Leach Pottery. St Ives
Great find, and nice to have it complete with lid.

Re: The Leach Pottery. St Ives
Yeah this shop is in a very affluent part of the city and always has really nice items, seen Moorcroft selling for in excess of £500 there, most of the things are usually way out of my price range lol.

Leach Pottery, St Ives
This pot has the Leach mark - difficult to photograph as partly obscured with glaze. No potter's mark - so has anyone any idea who made it ?

Re: The Leach Pottery. St Ives
It's not possible to say with any certainty at all. Any name suggested would really be a guess.

Re: The Leach Pottery. St Ives
What does it say under the marks? Looks like "REPEAT"?

Re: The Leach Pottery. St Ives
Yes it says REPEAT. Apparently it meant she made a number (100s, probably) of pieces in the same shape.
