Philip and Frannie Leach (Springfield Pottery)
(Hartland, North Devon, England, UK)
http://www.springfield-pottery.com/
(Phillip is the grandson of Bernard Leach and son of Michael Leach.
They use a clay that is a blend of red Stoke Marl, Fremington clay and
Hyplas 71 and decorate using a mixture of techniques and a choice of
five glazes of their own recipes, using Borax, alkaline and lead
biscuit frits.) (The work is utilitarian and beautiful.) (I presume the
Leaches have made a conscious decision to continue using lead frit in
their glazes, as have numerous other potters in the UK and Europe, I
believe.)

Iris Minc (Purple Sage Pottery) (Merrimac, MA, USA)
http://www.purplesagepottery.com/
(Traditional functional glazed stoneware pottery, lead free, as is most
American-made utilitarian pottery nowadays.)
