Leach Pottery Medium Dolomite Jug – Durable Kitchen Essential

Crafted with meticulous care by master artisans at Leach Pottery’s historic St Ives studio, this medium jug embodies over a century of timeless craftsmanship. Each piece in the Leach Pottery Collection is individually hand-thrown on a pottery wheel, ensuring no two items are alike—a testament to the skill and artistry passed down since its founding in 1920 by Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada. The jug’s distinctive creamy white Dolomite glaze isn’t just visually striking; it’s formulated with a high dolomite mineral content that creates subtle blue undertones when fired in reduction atmospheres, adding organic depth to every piece.

This 21cm-tall jug (with a 9cm base diameter) balances form and function perfectly for everyday use or decorative display. Its smooth curves and textured finish make it ideal for pouring homemade beverages or as a centerpiece on minimalist shelves, while the durable reduction-fired clay ensures longevity without sacrificing elegance. Unlike mass-produced ceramics, each piece bears unique markings from手工 finishing techniques—a reminder of its origins in one of Britain’s most revered pottery studios.

Leach Pottery’s legacy lives on through their commitment to preserving traditional methods while inspiring new generations of potters at their iconic Cornish workshop. This medium jug isn’t merely a kitchen accessory; it’s a connection to a heritage of handmade ceramics that prioritize authenticity over uniformity. Whether you’re serving tea or displaying flowers, its artisanal quality elevates any space with understated sophistication—making it a cherished addition to modern homes seeking both beauty and practicality in studio pottery artistry.

The perfect blend of utility and artistry, this Leach Standard Ware jug stands apart with its handcrafted imperfections and enduring style—a choice for those who value craftsmanship rooted in tradition yet designed for contemporary living.
