A Keith Murray moonstone shoulder vase, designed for Wedgwood, c.1930. Glazed in the pearlescent 'Moonstone' colourway. Stamped and impressed maker's mark to base, height 29 cm, diameter 22 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.
