A stoneware vase of shouldered form with cut-sided decoration, finished in a reduced copper red glaze. The faceted surface creates a gentle rhythm across the body, with tonal variation where the glaze gathers within the vertical cuts and softens along the raised edges.
David Leach OBE (1911–2005) was a British studio potter and a leading figure in 20th-century ceramics. The son of Bernard Leach, he trained at the Leach Pottery and later established Lowerdown Pottery in Devon, where he developed a body of work noted for its precision, restraint and refined glaze surfaces.
