A rare and important Bernard Leach stoneware vase engraved with sgraffito kinked lines separated by cut vertical lines with clay and ash glaze, circa 1966, pottery mark only but a very similar vase is illustrated in 'Bernard Leach, A Potter's Work', Jupiter Books reprint 1977 edition, colour plate 5, that example being 14 inches high where as the present is 11 inches high. Bernard Leach's caption reads "Tall Engraved Stoneware Jar. Height 14in. the running glaze on this piece is composed of equal parts of clay and hard-wood ash and was first discovered by the Chinese before the time of Christ. The shape, although unlike any medieval pot I have seen, is none the less is influenced by our noble English tradition. Made at St Ives, 1966"(See illustration) From the Bret Guthrie CollectionOriginally born in Barrow-in-Furness in 1916, to a Russian mother and English father, Bret Guthrie moved to Cornwall in 1926 when his father's work took the family to Falmouth, where he enjoyed his school years before the family moved again to East London. He later returned to Cornwall to await his army call-up for WWII. Whilst living in Nancledra, a cycling accident in St Ives threw him quite literally, at the feet of David Leach, son of the renowned potter. This led to a life-long friendship with both father and son, as well as a job dealing with the pottery's accounts. During his time at the Leach Pottery he also learnt about glazes, clay preparation and fired a few of his own pots. When the original kiln hearth, built by Tsurunosuke Matsubayashi in 1922 came to the end of its useful life, Guthrie and David Leach constricted a new one. At this time, Bernard Leach was away teaching at Dartington and as he and his son were so busy, Bret was tasked with experimenting with clay mixes and glazes and recording the results for the use of the pottery. Through Leach, Bret met and befriended many of the St Ives artists, Peter Lanyon, Naum Gabo, Adrian Stokes, Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson etc. He married, and despite his role as a pilot in the RAF, he survived the war unscathed and took up teaching in 1946. Bret and Wendy became close friends with Francis Horne and her daughter Marjorie. It was Francis a local wealthy philanthropist who lived at Tremorna in Carbis Bay who offered Bernard Leach a capital loan of £2500 to set up his pottery with Hamada and also an assured income of £250 for 3 years and it was from Marjorie that Wendy inherited a cottage and collection of Leach pottery. It is a tantalising thought that some of the lots offered in this sale may have been personal gifts from Leach to his benefactor.Bret followed a productive and satisfying career, teaching in various Cornish schools and enjoying the exciting social life of post-war St Ives. He took an active interest in archaeology and joined many important digs and his work in Cornish pre-history led to his induction as a Bard in the Cornish Gorseth in 1959. In later life, he travelled extensively and involved himself in many local community projects including the creation of the Tate St Ives. It was here at the Tate in 2001, where Bret passed away whilst invigilating.

BERNARD LEACH (1887-1979) - ARCHIVE OF LETTERS, JAPAN INTEREST a wonderful collection of approx 34 letters by Bernard Leach, sent in 1934 and 1935 to Laurie Cookes (later became Bernard's 2nd wife) from Japan. The letters are dated and are written on mostly rice paper, and the vast majority are signed Bernard or with his intials. The letters discuss life in Japan at that time, and are addressed from places such as Hiroshima, Kyoto, and Tokyo (one sent from Columbo) Some of the letters include designs for pottery, one letter dated 1935 has a variety of drawings of pottery and says 'These days have simply been full of potting, yesterday and the day before 200 slip decorations each'. Other letters discuss Japan in detail and include some drawings (local scenes, map of Japan, his lunch, etc), in one letter he says 'It is a very nice Hotel where I stayed last summer, overlooking Lake Shimji and I am very comfortable, that is as far as my ageing joints allow comfort'. In another he mentions an exhibition and adds some drawings, It is a room in which there are successful combinations of Japanese architecture and materials with European usage. I have attempted many things which have not been tried before, thousands are visiting the exhibition and buying. Weaving and Spinning, wood turning and toy making, painting, lacquer lettering'. Another letter titled Impressions of Japan after 14 years by Bernard Leach, 1934, appears to be for an article he had written and asks for it's return. In another he had drawn a mountain range in Kamigawa, which is dated 1935 and signed with intials, titled A Happy New Year. This lot also includes a long letter from Michael Cardew to Bernard Leach in 1938 (on Winchcombe Pottery paper) which starts Dear Leach, a Leach Pottery Catalogue from 1954, and some photographs of Dartington Hall and Bernard Leach (Camera Study by Stuart Black, Torquay). *In 1934 Bernard was invited to Japan as a guest of the National Craft Society and went out with his friend the American Artist Mark Tobey. Bernard stayed for a year and held several exhibitions of his work, both drawings and pots in Japan and Korea. In 1935 he returned to Dartington and St Ives and later in 1944 married Laurie Cookes. This archive has been passed to Maurice Leach, the adopted son of Bernard and Laurie who originally was an infant evacuee during the War.
