About MeTall stoneware jug with ovoid body and short concave neck. It has a rolled collar and rim with integral lip and a pulled short strap handle which sits high on the body.

The jug is fully glazed in a light white slip (liquid clay) under a black gloss glaze (probably Winchcombe's AK glaze) with iron brown glaze creating a mottled effect.

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 larger pieces, including jugs, platters and plates. Finch's work is marked with his personal modified mark of WP (Winchcombe Pottery) followed by a small dot.
