David Leach was born in Tokyo in 1911, trained by Shoji Hamad, not his father, the prolific potter Bernard Leech. He studied at North Staffs Technical College and in 1930 joined his family pottery studio, Leech Pottery in St Ives.
In 1953 he headed the ceramics department of Loughborough College. He started the Aylesford Pottery in 1954, handing it over a year later to Colin Pearson.
After the handover of Aylesford Pottery he moved to Bovey Tracey in Devon and set up Lowerdown Pottery
He was awarded the O.B.E in 1987, and is important for his development of porcelain suitable for studio pottery and his services to education. David died in February, 2005.

Born in Holland, Herman J. Kähler opened a small ceramics workshop in Næstved, Denmark in 1839. His son took over the workshop in 1875 and created a much broader ceramics range of which this vase would have been one.
As early as 1889, Kähler’s ceramics were revered at the World Exhibition in Paris, the same year the Eiffel Tower was built. They continue to be produced under the same name today. -

Fat lava is the name given to a certain styles of postwar, West German art pottery, particularly from the 1960s and ’70s. The genre gets its name from the thick, encrusted glazes that typify many of these pieces, some of which look as if their surfaces are composed of frozen flows of lava in radioactive hues ranging from fiery reds to cobalt blues. While the glazes were referred to at the time as lava glazes, the “fat” designation is more recent, the result of the public’s particular fascination with pieces whose glazes are especially thick and textured.
