Re: Michael Leach & Yelland Pottery
I have a little Yelland bowl which I rather like. 5.3cm (height) 11.5cm (height).
Re: Michael Leach & Yelland Pottery
Welcome to the Forum, Joanna. It would be good to see an image of the Yelland jug as well as the mark.

Just noticed your terracotta jug Zip, Looks really big! lovely piece,
Maybe SP can tell us about the clays, as all the other bits are stoneware.
Re: Michael Leach & Yelland Pottery
Thanks Denby, I thought it may be an early piece by Bowen

Re: Michael Leach & Yelland Pottery
When Michael first went to Yelland (1956) he used red earthenware like his brother David did over in Bovey but I don't know when he changed over to stoneware.
My guess would be around 1961 like his brother.
Regarding, Clive Bowen, he trained with Michael at Yelland from 1966 to 69 before setting up at Shebbear, where he still remains.
Other potters of note, who trained at Yelland, are his son Philip, his daugher in law, Frannie, Harry Juniper from 1956 to 1961 and my friend, Keiko Hasegawa.

Is this Yelland? It doesn't match the other Y mark. I'm assuming it's an earlier mark as the book shows one in a square, but, font-wise, it seems to have them the wrong way round, as the main mark is in a circle.

I think it must be a partial square, so a rare example of Michael Leach's other Y mark.

Re: Michael Leach & Yelland Pottery
The pottery ran from 1955 until Michael’s death around 1984. I’m guessing that’s an early phone number so from early in the pottery’s existence
