About MeStoneware small bulbous shaped store jar with straight neck and two thin lug handles applied to the shoulders. Round cover which is slightly stepped with a round button knop.

The jar is fully glazed in a light gloss glaze over a white slip, with a matt light brown glaze around the neck, lug handles and outer surface of the cover. The lower section of the jar is a pale golden tan, or mustard, light salt-glaze.

Both pieces are decorated with incised patterns. The jar has incised vertical chevron bands interspersed with incised abstract leaf forms and the cover is decorated with three incised ovals and an incised band.

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, making a limited number of distinctive pieces, which are marked with his personal 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.
