Keith Murray was a renowned designer who worked in field of glass, ceramics and metalware from 1920 to 1939. He trained and worked as an architect until the late 1920s when the great depression forced him to seek work elsewhere. Murray ended up working freelance for Brierley Hill and part time for Wedgewood. His metalwork was for the firm Mappin & Webb in silver and silver-plate. The designs were mostly geometric and modern in form.
