Item Overview

Description

William Staite Murray (British, 1881-1962)
Vase, flowers beneath delicate cream glaze
impressed potter's seal
29cm high.

William Staite Murray created a number of vases through the 1920s and 1930s, which were exhibited widely, most notably at the Lefevre Gallery, London, and were given names such as 'Mist, Early Morning', 'Wheel of Life' etc. It is probable that this vase is one of those 'named' pieces.

A similar stoneware vase/jar with cream glaze can be seen in a photograph of a Red Rose Guild exhibition stand, Houldsworth Hall, Manchester, 1923 (see Malcolm Haslam, William Staite Murray, Crafts Council, 1984, p.19).
