Urn, by Iain M. Nelson

Add to album

This stoneware urn was made by the artist Iain M. Nelson in 1979.

The large, handbuilt urn has an oval profile and cross-section. It is decorated on the exterior with a off white to orange slip.

During the 1980s the Scottish Development Agency purchased a number of hand-crafted items for its Scottish Crafts Collection. The aim of the collection was to inform the public of craft production in Scotland through touring exhibitions and education programmes. When the Scottish Craft Council was wound up, the collection was transferred to the National Museums of Scotland.
