MARTIN BROTHERS SERPENT TWIN-HANDLED VASE, 1906 incised MARTIN BRO LONDON & SOUTHALL / 2-1906, glazed stoneware 14.5cm high (5 ¾in high) Woolley & Wallis, 14 December 2017, lot 298 The Martin Brothers, Robert Wallace, Charles, Walter, and Edwin, were pioneering British ceramicists known for their eccentric and highly collectible stoneware. Operating in London from the 1870s to the early 20th century, they created some of the most distinctive ceramics of the Arts and Crafts movement, blending elements of Gothic revival, medieval grotesques, and natural forms.At the heart of their production was Robert Wallace Martin (1843–1923), the eldest brother and creative force behind their whimsical and often macabre Wally Birds, sculptural tobacco jars with expressive, exaggerated features. These creatures, along with their salt-glazed vases, grotesque face jugs, and aquatic-inspired designs, set them apart from traditional Victorian ceramics.While Walter (1857–1912) and Edwin (1860–1915) Martin specialised in glazing and throwing, Charles Martin (1846–1910) was more involved in the business side of the workshop. Together, they developed a distinctive textured, earthy glaze, often in rich browns, greens, and blues, that gave their ceramics an organic, almost ancient quality.Despite their artistry, financial struggles plagued the brothers throughout their careers. However, their work gained a cult following among collectors, and today, Martinware is highly sought after, with pieces commanding significant prices at our auctions.
