About MeStoneware small squat store jar with lug handles. The round cover is slightly domed with round button knop.

The jar is fully glazed in a cream oatmeal slip with tan brown slip around upper section of the body. Salt-glazed giving a speckled appearance. The cover is similarly glazed with cream oatmeal slip with tan over glaze on exterior which is also salt-glazed.

Both the jar and cover are decorated with a pattern of deep incised abstract line markings There is also an Incised band around the shoulder of the jar.

Ray Finch was one of the UK's leading makers of tableware at the Winchcombe Pottery near Cheltenham, where he led a team of talented potters. He embedded his own work within the standard domestic ware made at the workshop, marking these pieces with a modified mark of WP (Winchcombe Pottery) followed by a small dot. Finch enjoyed making salt-glazed works when time allowed. Salt-glaze was not produced in large quantities as it was never viewed as economically viable for Winchcombe.
