Studio Pottery Tenmoku glaze lidded pot with incised decoration by Amanda Brier (1978-) for Leach Pottery
A beautiful studio pottery lidded jar with a simple but effective Tenmoku glaze with incised surface decoration. Produced by potter Amanda Brier for Leach Pottery.
Tenmoku is a high-temperature, iron-rich ceramic glaze known for its deep, glossy black, brown, or rust colors. Originating from Chinese Jian ware tea bowls. The iconic Tenmoku glaze used at the historic Leach Pottery in St Ives, Cornwall, is an iron-rich stoneware glaze. It creates a deep, glossy black that breaks to a warm rust-brown on edges and textured surfaces.
The traditional Leach Tenmoku recipe relies heavily on local Cornish stone (often used interchangeably with China stone), whiting (calcium carbonate), and a high percentage of red iron oxide. When properly mixed and sifted, these ingredients are applied via dipping.
A beautiful decorative mantle or table-top piece having both the artist and Leach Pottery impressed markings to base.
