Hand thrown in a model that Finch woud often use again in his later production in Finland, this vase with a dripping rim in a thick white over brown slip, marks one of the artist's last experiments on Belgian soil. The subtle yet distinctive calabash or gourd shape is excentuated by a faint brown glaze along its narrowest point.
