Bernard Howell Leach (1887-1979) was a famous English potter, born in Hong Kong and was the leading figure in the development of Studio Pottery in Britain. In Japan he was a student of Ogata Kenzan, and after returning to England he established a pottery at St. Ives with Shojin Hamada, where he produced stoneware and rakuwear using local materials. This book is the outcome of 33 years' experience of making pots by hand processes in the Far East and in England. It is a practical book for those potters who work as artists, either in one-man studios or in small workshops. After an intorduction on Leach in Japan by Soyetsu Yanagi, a preface by Michael Cardew and the author's preface, the book contains the following chapters: Towards a Standard; Raku - English Slipware - Stoneware - Porcelain; Clays; The Making of Clay Shapes; Decoration; Pigments and Glazes; Kilns; The Workshop. The book is bound in the original tan cloth covered boards with red titling on the spine and front board together with a red illustration of a potter at a wheel on the front board. The case of the book is in very good condition with light bumping to the spine ends. The contents are tight and clean with no inscription. The unclipped dustwrapper is very good with some shelf wear and light soiling and slight fading to the spine. There is rubbing down the spine edges and the spine ends are lightly bumped. The rear flap has an old tape stain running down the edge. The wrapper is in an easily removed clear plastic protective cover.
