Art Deco Pottery Collection by Keith Murray for Wedgwood

I bought these 3 pieces of British Wedgwood pottery in 2016 for about $400, and I believe it was kind of a steal, since I've seen single pieces sell for that much or more. They are designed by famed ceramics industrial designer, Keith Murray, circa 1930's. I've always wanted to get a piece of Keith Murray for more collection, so I was thrilled when I was able to scoop up 3 pieces at once.

There are two sizes of the "bomb" vase: 9"h, 8"diameter. and 8"h, 6.5"diameter. The box is a very rare piece of Wedgwood--a cigar or cigarette box. The dimensions of the box are: 3.25"h, 3.75"w, 3.5"d. All of the pieces are in a luxurious matte green color (or "Depression Green"), which appears to be the most common color for Keith Murray pieces.

According to Wikipedia, Keith Murray was "a New Zealand born architect and designer who worked as a ceramics, glass and metalware designer for Wedgwood in the Potteries area of Staffordshire in the 1930s and 1940s. He is considered one of the most influential designers of the Art deco style. In 1934 the Royal Silversmiths Mappin and Webb approached him and asked if he could produce bowls and vases in silver working to the same designs as his Wedgwood pieces. Most of his work was with vases, bowls and similar cylindrical ware, executed in a clean and restrained style with decoration often limited to deeply incised lines or smooth steps in the shape."

His designs for the Art Deco period are considered more "architectural" in nature, given the lines of his pieces.

For some reason, they looking bluish in the first pic, but they are definitely matte green. Probably a trick of the lighting and eye due to red table they are on.
