His first designs for Wedgwood were produced in 1932, after which he was engaged for three months a year. By November 1933, an exhibition of ‘New Wedgwood Shapes Designed by Keith Murray’, held at John Lewis, Oxford Street, included 124 shapes, some listed as ‘hand thrown finger finished’. His designs were commercially popular and many remained in production until the 1950s. In 1936, Keith Murray and Charles White were commissioned to design Wedgwood’s new factory at Barlaston, alongside a model village estate by Louis Soissons. Murray retired from ceramic design in 1948, though continued his architectural practice until 1967. Keith Murray’s elegant, architectural designs include vases, jugs and bowls, generally decorated only by moulding or simple incised lines. They were well suited to new matt glazes being created in the 1930s by Norman Wilson, then works manager at Wedgwood’s Etruria factory. This shape, which was produced in Moonstone, Matt Green or Straw, appears on page BY3 (matt glazes) of the ‘Keith Murray Shapes Catalogue’, 1940. The Matt Green glaze, obtained here by the addition of celadon slip and uranium oxide, is reminiscent of that found on early Korean pottery in the Fitzwilliam. At Wedgwood’s request, Murray also designed several tableware series. The Fitzwilliam Collection also holds three items of Keith Murray glassware, made by Stevens & Williams, on loan. Wedgwood’s matt glazes are mainly found on figures by John Skeaping and on shapes designed by Keith Murray. They were rarely used after 1941. reference term-120066 adlib-term-120066 7d68b404-6003-3715-bdce-af5ba4e8f5a3 20th Century, second quarter reference term-113623 adlib-term-113623 87ef9eaf-54a8-3838-8337-94dbf03aad62 literal England England country Etruria grey-green matt reference term-32652 adlib-term-32652 82d8ae3b-f165-395c-ba93-dfa1c282b7be glaze reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Diameter cm 25.2 Diameter cm 7.5 Height cm 12.5 reference media-11774 adlib-media-11774 bf7fc7cc-5baf-35e2-9355-ec7e2c9a5a7f jpeg aa/aa4/C_9_1980_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1616275629204 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/mid_C_9_1980_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1616275629204 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/C_9_1980_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1616275629204 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/preview_C_9_1980_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1616275629204 1 image 0 media image reference media-11775 adlib-media-11775 d4f0a154-d40e-3d89-bcd2-502611569657 jpeg aa/aa4/C_9_1980_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1616279756689 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/mid_C_9_1980_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1616279756689 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/C_9_1980_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1616279756689 1 image jpeg aa/aa4/preview_C_9_1980_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1616279756689 1 image 1 media image reference term-107667 adlib-term-107667 1b81c806-cfb7-3291-9803-525db5f75e09 bowl history note unknown reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Cf.
