Title: Keith Murray Art Deco Vase Reference: 00986 Description: A large, early vase, in great condition by Keith Murray, for Wedgwood, in a lovely white matte glaze.
Keith Murray (1892-1981) was one of the most important and influential designers in the field of glass, ceramics and metalware from 1920 through to the start of the WWII. He worked as an architect until the late 1920s when the world depression forced him to look elsewhere for work. In 1931 following a visit to the Exhibition of Swedish Industrial Art in London, he sent a few designs, for table glass to Stevens and Williams of Brierley Hill. They used Murray as a free lance designer from 1932 until the war. In 1932 Murray was hired by wedgwood for two months a year to design a range of modern shapes for the factory. His very modern designs look very much like the work of a twentieth century architect. The pieces produced in 1933 have a full facsimile signature Keith Murray with Wedgwood, Made in England underneath. The KM monogram was introduced in 1934.
