Angela Davis writes;
The very last shot of the bottle bottom shows the BL stamp, I think it
probably is the real thing.
I too have several of Leach's books and many pictures of his work,
I have not seen anything that looked like this bottle attributed to him.
It was a favorite shape of S Hamada's though, and one of mine too.
There were no bids so this shows the 3,500.00 was too high for the
current market. If this had been a Hamada, with exactly the same look,
the price would have been almost double.
