Known for their fantastically modeled birds and vessels incised with images of sea creatures, the Martin Brothers (Walter Fraser Martin and Edwin Martin) experimented with salt-glazed stoneware, resulting in successfully decorated vases. The matte surface of this beautiful, bulbous vase was manipulated in various places to suggest peacock spines and feathers.
