A Keith Murray for Wedgwood spherical vase, matte straw glaze, and incised banding to body. Impressed maker's mark to base, height 16 cm, diameter 14 cm. Keith Murray (1892-1981) started working with Wedgwood in the early 1930s. Originally in creamware, his designs were simple, modern, and targeted to middle class consumers; partly a recovery strategy in a time of economic turmoil. While his period with Wedgwood was brief, his modernist design attributes have a long-lasting legacy.
