Keith Murray (ceramic artist)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Keith Murray was a New Zealand architect who worked as a ceramics designer for Wedgwood in the Potteries area of Staffordshire in the 1940s and 1950s.

Most of his work was with vases, bowls and similar cylindrical ware, executed in a clean and restrained style with decoration often limited to deeply incised lines or smooth steps in the shape. The whole piece is usually one colour without applied decoration.

Keith Murray's work sold well at the time, and has become increasingly sought after at auction as time has passed.
