To be honest, this one is confusing me and I can't say for certain that it's a Keith Murray piece.
On the plus side:
- It's hand thrown
- The height and width are exactly the same as other Keith Murray black basalt beaker vases such as the 3888 beaker I recently sold (see the picture of them side by side).
- The impressed herring bone pattern is exactly the same as that on the 3888 vase (just reversed)
- I've seen these beaker vases sold as being by Keith Murray elsewhere
On the minus side:
- The impressed marks on the bottom are post war
- It doesn't have the red KM stamp
I've priced it reflect this uncertainty.
