The name ethical pot was first coined by Oliver Watson in his book Studio Pottery: Twentieth Century British Ceramics in the Victoria and Albert Museum for a 20th century, back-to- basics pottery movement that endorsed plainer utilitarian styles over fine art. Other names for pots in this style are the ego-less pot or utilitarian pot. The ethical pot theory was conceptualized and championed by potter Bernard Leach and a more controversial subset of the Arts and Crafts movement of post-war potters. The proponents were theoretically opposed to the expressive pots or fine art pots of other post-war potters such as William Staite Murray, Lucie Rie and Hans Coper.
