Jar with lid, by Brian Cook Shand

This stoneware jar with lid was made by the Scottish artist Brian Cook Shand in 1987.

The jar was made of hand-thrown stoneware clay with an iron red glaze. It has a deep footring, two handles and a distinctive central banding with brush decoration in a floral pattern. The handles are 'pulled' and rolled back at the ends. The lid also has a rolled handle.

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.
