Wedgwood 1937 Coronation mug designed by New Zealander Keith Murray featuring George IV on one side and Queen Elizabeth on the other, both with crowns above.
Designed by Keith Murray for the 1937 Coronation of King George VI, this white Wedgwood mug is one of the most refined commemorative pieces of the period. Murray’s modernist approach is clear in the clean cylindrical form, the crisp handle, and the balanced proportions that give the mug its quiet architectural strength.
The white glaze suits the design perfectly — understated, cool, and allowing the relief coronation emblem to stand out without becoming fussy. It’s a piece that feels both ceremonial and deliberately modern, reflecting Murray’s belief that commemorative ware should be elegant rather than ornate.
A strong example of Wedgwood’s interwar design and an excellent addition for collectors of Keith Murray, British modernism, or Coronation memorabilia.
