You rang?

 

sorry jeeves, would like ones opinion

 

I don't know anything about it. I think I might have come across his name once before. Strikes a cord and that's about it. Nice bowl. Stuffed if I'd pay 4 grand for one though. Looks genuine enough. They go for several hundred on eBay. I will probably be looking for that mark on every bowl I see for the next few weeks. I reckon it's supposed to represent Yin/Yang.

 

I found this small egg coddler at a jumble years ago.
Auction House wasn’t interested as it wasn’t one of the large Leach pieces.

 

i'm thinking definitely leach, but which will be interesting

above is large by the way

but i'm thinking earlier

 

the mark (on mine) definitely makes me think earlier

Mate-If you found a Bernie Leach,you found the UK Ceramic equivalent of Henry Moore-and that aint' nothin'. I'd be guardedly chuffed !
PS-Main question-Was it thrown by Leach himself ? I know zilch about ceramics,and Leach even I know !

 

i know , 2 good to be true i reckon, i do really like that mark for some reason, its just crooked but finer at the same time enough to be older

 

interesting that he used that mark (alone) in the 1920s (albeit different)

could also be a janet

contacted Leach pottery, so will let ye nose

 

what me !

 

After all our anguished toiling in the ruined tailings of the antique mines-it's danged exhilarating to find the real thing !

 

i was just about to say the same thing.......but more poetic

if though mr bosko, if
