This is a finely thrown stoneware bowl by John Lomas, a respected British studio potter known for his functional wheel-thrown work in the Leach tradition. The bowl measures 16 cm in diameter and 8 cm tall, and is finished in a warm speckled ochre glaze with Lomas’s characteristic calligraphic brushed slip decoration around the exterior. It carries his impressed JL potter’s seal on the foot.

The bowl is wheel-thrown in a lightly textured stoneware body, with a flared rim, double incised banding and a strong, confident profile. The brushwork displays the fluid, gestural style that collectors value in Lomas’s work. The foot is cleanly cut and bears the impressed monogram.

John Lomas is a British studio potter whose work reflects the influence of the Leach–Hamada tradition of honest, functional ceramics. Active from the late 20th century, Lomas produced small-batch wheel-thrown stoneware from his studio, focusing on everyday forms elevated by expressive slip decoration and warm, natural glazes. His pieces are now sought after by collectors of regional and Leach-school studio pottery.

This bowl is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or repairs.
