This stoneware jar with a lid was made by the Scottish artist Joe Finch in 1981.
The stoneware jar has lug handles on the shoulder. It is glazed on the inside but not on the outside, and has scratched and impressed decoration.
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.
