Keith Murray Wedgwood Pottery Vase
« 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

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.
