Her expertise became such that Leach sought her advice and the documentation she left continues to be a source of study for contemporary potters. Katharine Pleydell-Bouverie (1895-1985) learned her pottery skills at the Central School of Art under Dora Billington and as one of Bernard Leach’s early students. In 1925 she set up the Cole Pottery on her family’s estate at Coleshill, Berkshire, where she had grown up with the family Chinese porcelain collection, and built a double-chamber wood-fired reducing kiln kiln with the help of her friend Ada 'Peter' Mason. She favoured functional shapes: ‘I like a pot to be a pot, a vessel with a hole in it, made for a purpose’. In 1928, when Mason left for the USA, Norah Braden joined her and together they explored ash glazes made from local wood and vegetable sources. Pleydell-Bouverie wrote to Leach : ‘I want my pots to make people think, not of the Chinese, but of things like pebbles and shells and birds’ eggs and the stones over which moss grows’ (29.06.1930). reference term-110488 adlib-term-110488 4503a73a-ae49-3f4d-8814-88925dcd11a3 20th Century, Mid reference term-117184 adlib-term-117184 3fd274f4-37d2-3539-b723-a68d636bf60d literal England England country Coleshill reference term-42825 adlib-term-42825 858e5d17-b554-33d6-936f-25b16f72f39d stoneware Diameter cm 20 Height cm 16.5 reference term-89480 adlib-term-89480 f1ea518e-351c-3f42-b2a7-db0f8559fa2c vase reference term-107667 adlib-term-107667 1b81c806-cfb7-3291-9803-525db5f75e09 bowl reference term-116729 adlib-term-116729 493253d4-2643-317f-9cfc-58f1699833d5 jardinière history note From the collection of Olive and Peter Ward (Emmanuel and Clare Colleges). reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Ref.
