I bought this for the novelty value as I have no idea why anyone would do this.  Shocked

Looks like Barrie Linfoot's mark, but someone's been naughty and written Bernard Leach's mark on the base

I sent the images to Leach pottery to ask their opinion - not because I think it has anything to do with them but just in case they have seen it's like before - they haven't.

However they did say that both marks are very good copies of Bernard Leach marks - so they suspect it's a potter having a joke - no way of knowing who made it - maybe a student.

It's well made so a competent potter. I think I have found another mark, looks like a rose or some kind of flower. Strange tea/coffee pot with rose and BL mark - Barrie Linfoot?   Img_2545
