Studio Ware Vase in the Style of Bernard Leach

This is an unusual studio-ware vase depicting the four seasons. Highly stylised and perhaps a one-off. Possibly the vase was made by the Saint Ives pottery (school of potters). This could easily be by Michael Cardew. Even though it is possibly made from pottery. It is high fired and does look like stoneware so its in between these two mediums depending on how one views the difference between the two bodies and firing process and glazes etc.
