During the 1940’s and 1950’s Murch made decorative small animals in bronze and glazed ceramic ware. The sisters Ethel and Janet Cotton, who lived in Newport, helped Murch glaze and fire the pieces in their pottery kiln. Always interested in design and motifs, Murch applied his sketches to dessert bowls, fabrics and pressed metal jewelry.
