BERNARD LEACH (1887-1979) for Leach Pottery; a stoneware vase covered in grey glaze with iron decoration with kintsugi repair by Leach himself, impressed early BL mark, made 1920s, height 14.5cm. (D) Exhibited: British Studio Ceramics, Buckinghamshire County Museum, Aylesbury, 2003. Literature: Illustrated in Paul Rice, British Studio Ceramics (Crowood Press, 2002), p. 19. PR – Leach kept this pot in his collection for nearly 50 years and made the gold lacquer repair himself. A (very beautiful) young potter visited the Leach Pottery and he gave it to her as a gift – much to Janet’s annoyance. She sold it some years after his death and it has been in my collection since. Additional Information Gold repair to rim and firing crack to body, otherwise appears good with no further signs of faults, damage or restorations. This lot qualifies for Artist Resale Rights.
