Garlic pot hand-thrown at the Leach Pottery in Cornwall exclusively for TOAST. With a glaze inspired by the Japanese Nuka glaze. Punctuated by holes at the side, then finished with a matching lid to help reduce humidity and block out the light, keeping your garlic fresh for longer. Garlic is best stored in a cool, dry area of your kitchen, rather than in the fridge. The tone and glaze will vary slightly from piece to piece. Exclusive to TOAST.
Leach Pottery was founded in St. Ives by Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada. It is one of the most respected Studio Potteries in the world, with Bernard Leach himself regarded as the father of British studio pottery. Tracing back 100 years, Leach Pottery's iconic designs are still made and fired on the same site by a team of highly skilled potters, to last for the next century to come.
Accompanied by a voucher for entry into the Leach Museum in St Ives, Cornwall. Exclusive to TOAST.

Celebrating Inspiration and Exchange at The Leach Pottery
Over the last few hundred years, there are few potteries that have been quite as influential as The Leach Pottery. Widely regarded as the birthplace of British studio pottery, its founder Bernard Leach represented a new breed of artist-potter in the twentieth century, establishing an aesthetic tradition characterised by hand-thrown, functional pots, glazed in quiet earthy colours.
South-African-born ceramicist Roelof Ulys joined the pottery in 2013, today heading up a studio of six potters, as well as an apprentice and a merry band of volunteers. “The Leach Pottery doesn't belong to us,” he says. “It belongs to the generations of potters who have come through here before us and been taught by Bernard Leach and his apprentices.”
The Leach Pottery: 100 Years On
“You have to throw about 600 of these until you can make them properly,” says Roelof Uys, lead potter at The Leach Pottery in St Ives, which sits on a hill just as the town starts to peter out into the rugged Penwith Moors. He's talking about an egg cup, a chunky little stoneware pot just shy of five-centimetres in height, with an earthy green glaze covering most of it and an unglazed, biscuit-brown bottom. “Everyone who comes here to make pots has to start their throwing training with these,” he explains. “They're fiddly and difficult, but once you've mastered them, it's easy to learn other shapes.”
