This collection of approximately 18 pieces of studio pottery is primarily composed of stoneware items, ranging from functional domestic ware to sculptural forms. The group includes a large wheel-thrown stoneware casserole dish from Leach Pottery, St Ives, featuring twin lug handles and a knob finial. The exterior is unglazed with a toasted brown clay body, while the interior is finished in a celadon-toned ash glaze. The lid retains a handwritten label identifying it as Leach St Ives from the 1970s. Also included is a stoneware jar with a flared rim, decorated with brown slip-trailed wheat-ear motifs on a tan ground, bearing both the St Ives pottery seal and an LC monogram mark. The collection features an organic bowl with a manipulated ruffled rim and dark brown matte glaze. A group of cream-coloured speckled ware includes a jug signed POST on the base, a lidded side-handled pot, and a bowl with a matching saucer that features an indistinct impressed mark to the foot ring. Completing the set are a red earthenware dish with slip-trailed black scroll patterns, and various mugs and small lidded jars in cream, tan, and brown glazes.
Casserole dish diameter: approximately 20-25cm.
Condition report:
The collection is in good overall condition with no visible chips, cracks, or professional repairs. The ruffled edges of the organic bowl are part of the original design. Minor surface wear and occasional firing irregularities are consistent with the nature of handmade studio pottery.
