Martin Brothers Gnarly Olive Jug

Presenting an exceptional, historic gnarly-designed Martin Brothers art pottery jug, measuring approx. 22.5cm in height and 12.5cm in diameter. This piece from a highly sought-after potter features a robust baluster form jug, resting securely on a flared circular foot. Its gnarly silhouette is defined by a bulbous lower body that tapers into a cylindrical neck, culminating in a sweeping pouring lip and an applied, sturdy strap handle.

The jug is characterized by its tactile, heavily ribbed texture, a testament to its hand-thrown origins by eccentric brothers. A rich, dark olive-brown salt glaze dominates the meticulously textured body and handle. This deep, lustrous finish contrasts strikingly against the lighter, biscuit-toned clay left exposed at the rim, the interior, a thin defining band at the shoulder, and the foot. This earthy, two-tone palette masterfully accentuates the horizontal throwing lines that encircle the entire vessel.

Beneath the foot, the unglazed natural clay base proudly bears the authentic, hand-incised cursive signature reading “Martin” and “London”, securing its prestigious provenance. Preserved impeccably, this remarkable piece presents in excellent, original, and entirely undamaged condition, making it a museum-quality acquisition for discerning collectors of late 19th and early 20th-century British studio pottery.

For sale is a very early Doulton Lambeth jug by their most famous artist, George Tinworth. Dated 1874, in our opinion this piece represents a rarer and  finer quality work by Tinworth. Unusually, the Seaweed Scroll work is absent on this piece, as George has decided to work towards a different effect. He has used the beading which is large and raised (sharp to the touch) to create four horizon borders. He has then crossed diagonal lines to create a diamond criss-cross effect. Within each diamond segment is then decorated blue bulbous forms which house intricate florette roundels to the centre diamonds, and beads to the smaller areas. The background is coloured to mid-brown.

Beneath, the jug is stamped with the early oval Doulton Lambeth mark and dated 1874. Further it has George’s monogram clearly engraved and that of an assistant or thrower. The jug is in fabulous condition, with only a very minor professional, invisible restoration to a small top rim chip. The quality of this jug will delight any serious early Doulton or Arts & Crafts collectors!

For sale for the pair, are these beautifully executed Foliate vases, demonstrating the very best of Doulton Lambeth Arts & Crafts as the classical period moved towards Art Nouveau. By Emily E. Stormer, one of my favourite Lambeth artists, she has not held back in the execution of these vases.

Offered in excellent original condition, the vases are both clearly signed with Emily Stormer’s initials, the assistant marks and the round “cog” and “England”, dating these vases to the 1890s. Buy the pair as a real statement. You will not be disappointed.

For sale is what can only be described as an “uber-rare” Doulton Lambeth bowl by renowned artist Florence Barlow. It dates to 1877 – a lovely early piece. With birds in relief scrolling down to form feet, this is the only piece of its kind I have seen by Florence Barlow, or even remotely similar! Florence focussed on birds – yes – but she painted remarkably realistic birds in the pate-sur-pate technique onto the facia of her pieces. On this earlier piece, Florence has executed beautiful and bold aesthetic design to the main body, of which I have seen examples before. She has then opted to add three birds gracing the sides and footing of the bowl, which take its quality to the next level.

The bowl stands 13.5cm high but significantly wider at 23cm. It therefore has a lovely presence and its moderate size would suit a collectors cabinet or be a centre piece on a hall table, sideboard or mantle.

Presented in outstanding original condition, there are no chips, cracks or restoration. The bowl beneath shows the round Doulton Lambeth stamp and date 1877. It further shows the signature of Florence Barlow “FEB” together with assistant marks and code numbers.
