Leach Pottery St Ives - possibly Harry Davis, 1930s

The pot appears to be earthenware with an old St Ives Leach mark which dates it I believe to 1920-1937.
Anyone have any ideas from the style who made it?
It is in pristine condition.
I tried to post recently but it didn’t seem to go through - apologies if it has already

You are absolutely correct in yoir information. A very interesting piece. But because it has not got a personal mark it is very difficult to tell th e maker by style alone.Could you give dimensions?  The decoration is very unusual indeed, and the fluidity of the slip work is Very exceptional, as is the beautiful quality of the throwing.  The whole piece looks extremely well made.
            It is the sheer fluidity and the exceptional quality of the  throwing that makes me wonder if it was not made By Harry Davis in the mid 1930's or by David Leach in the 1930's. Harry Davis in particular  was an exceptional thrower and went on to found Crowan pottery post-war. Crowan pottery is renowned for the quality of its making.
           The two big names you would be looking for would be Bernard Leach and Michael Cardew. Bernard Leach himself was not a brilliant thrower  and this one looks just so well and crisply made. Michael Cardew was brilliant at Slip work, but in his years at St Ives he was a pupil learning to make pottery. Similarly this one looks just too well made! All that said,
It might well be a Bernard Leach piece of course. But he nearly almost always used his personal mark. It added resale value!
                 Without a personal mark it is all total guess work of course. But you do have a lovely piece!

Beautiful pot with an early mark. Very nice

Thank you for your comments and information - I did send a couple more pictures and the dimensions through 22cms tall and 15 diameter but it doesn’t seem to have added on the stream
