Leach Standard Ware

Founded in 1920 by Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada, the Leach Pottery is among the most respected and influential studio potteries in the world. We continue Bernard’s legacy by making handcrafted Leach Standard Ware and individual pieces, whilst training the next generation of potters. Please Note: Any orders placed after Wednesday 18 December are not guaranteed to arrive before Christmas.

Leach Standard Ware is thrown on the wheel by our international team of production potters, volunteers and apprentices. We use stoneware from Doble’s clay pit in St Agnes, Cornwall - much the same clay as was used in the original Leach Standard Ware production. Our pots are then fired to temperatures of 1280°C resulting in a unique clay body and durable product.

Main Glazes: Ash: a soft, translucent GREEN, with subtle variations. Tenmoku: a deep BLACK finish, breaking to RED-BROWN where it is thinner.
Dolomite: a creamy WHITE , sometimes giving a hint of blue. Glaze information
