Vintage Lowerdown Pottery Chawan Tea Bowl. Thrown stoneware bowl with small foot. Thick dark tenmoku glaze. Measures 4″ tall and 5.25″ wide. Impressed LD (Lowerdown) stamp on foot with additional illegible marks/signatures. Not certain if this bowl was specifically made by David Leach or another potter/apprentice at the studio. Minimal signs of age and wear, refer to photos. Very well crafted, a joy to hold. DAVID LEACH (1911 – 2005). British potter David Leach was the eldest son of Bernard Leach, known as “the Father of British studio pottery”. He was taught to pot at a young age at the instruction of his father and Shoji Hamada. At the age of 19, David began working at the Leach Pottery in St. Ives, producing everyday functional stoneware taking heavy influence from the Japanese Mingei folk art movement. In 1955, David went on to open his own studio, Lowerdown Pottery.

Its Hand Painted Studio Piece with Nice Curve & Contour. It has a nice Designer Pattern on the exterior of the piece and on the inside is Beautifully Decorated as shown. This is an Original Piece & a Very Hard Color Pattern to Find which makes it very Rare Due to its Size, Age & Beauty.
Very Nice Northwest Studio Art Pottery Wobble Bowl. Unlike other bowls I have seen this on has an unglazed bottom on the inside instead of the base. The base is intentionally slightly rounded to give the bowl a little wobble.
The intricate multicolor design and unique texture created through the raku firing process make this piece truly one-of-a-kind. This bowl will make a stunning centerpiece or a valuable addition to any pottery collection.
