Morphology
high-finished + material
The phrase is compositionally built from 'high' (great in degree) + 'finished' (having a completed/polished surface) + 'material', so its meaning — material with a highly refined or polished finish — is directly derivable from the parts. Although the hyphenation is slightly non‑standard (more common is 'highly finished' or 'high-finish'), the semantic combination is straightforward and cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would likely understand it.
Etymology
High-finished material makes you think of wood or metal that workers sand and polish until the surface is very smooth and shiny. The words high and finished point to a strong 'finish', so it means a material with a very 'polished' or 'refined' surface.
