Vintage Haven Pottery Leaf Dish by David Lemon

A beautiful vintage studio pottery dish by David Lemon, made at The Haven Pottery in Somerset.

Decorated with a simple, confident leaf motif painted in deep charcoal against a softly speckled blue-green glaze, this piece has a calm, grounded presence that feels deeply rooted in the British studio pottery tradition. The palette is subtle and earthy, with gentle tonal variation across the glaze that speaks to its handmade nature.

The dish is marked to the base with David Lemon’s personal DL monogram, allowing it to be confidently attributed to him - a detail that adds both authenticity and quiet collectability. Lemon’s work is known for its functional forms, natural motifs, and restrained decoration, and this piece is a lovely example of that thoughtful, pared-back approach.

Perfect as a small serving dish, a place for jewellery or everyday treasures, or  a beautiful artwork to add to a gallery wall. This is the kind of object that settles easily into daily life, useful, beautiful, and full of intention.
