Title: Keith Murray Wedgwood Pottery Vase
Post by: Recircle8 on March 30, 2015, 12:34:27 AM

Hi All,

Found this little Keith Murray Wedgwood gem recently and I am trying to confirm some info about it. First of all I know it predates 1940 because of the stamp to the base.
I believe it to be either pattern number 3802, or perhaps the more common 3765 or even a completely different piece all together.
It is approx 20.5cm high x 18cm wide and weighs 1.8kgs. The colour is Straw.
A piece which seemed similar or close to mine recently sold on Ebay UK (not sure if I am allowed to post the link here?) and the seller identified the piece as 3802, using a reference guide book, however the piece shown from the book did look different at the base - but this may have been the angle of the photograph?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated :)

Cheers,

Hiya recircle8

Your vase is one from the 1930 range

see this link for more examples which includes yours

http://www.carters.com.au/index.cfm/index/3079-murray-keith-ceramics/ (http://www.carters.com.au/index.cfm/index/3079-murray-keith-ceramics/)

This particular shape is not the common one as you will see, having the pronounced line round the base of neck is different to many and I can only find in AU website at moment but at least you have an age

the most important thing is that its superb and ........ Can I buy it lol.....

Cheers
James

Is it like this one?  The color seems to be called straw.
