Bernard Leach original Standard Ware pottery was featured in the 1959 Living Today exhibition and is still being made by Leach Pottery today.
Leach Standard Ware pottery is thrown on the wheel by an international team of production potters, volunteers and apprentices. They use stoneware clay from Doble's claypit in St Agnes, Cornwall - much the same clay as was used in the original Leach Standard Ware production.
