Leach Pottery 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: As we strive to reduce our environmental impact we have made the decision to limit shipping to the UK only. Find out more here
Standard Ware jugs, mixing bowl sets and prepping bowls.
Hand-thrown on the wheel by our international team of production potters, volunteers and apprentices, our tableware is made with stoneware clay from Doble’s in St Agnes, Cornwall - much the same clay as was used in the original Leach Standard Ware production. Pots are fired to temperatures of 1280°C resulting in a unique clay body and durable product.
We recommend hand-washing our pots to reduce the chance of long-term fading.
