Robert Wallace Martin

DESCRIPTION

Robert Wallace Martin was the eldest of the four Martin Brothers who founded the Martin Brothers Pottery, famous for producing 'Martinware'. Their work is characterized by salt-glazed stoneware, particularly their distinctive 'Wally Birds' (grotesque owl-like jars) and face jugs. Kingston Museum holds a significant collection of 120 Martinware ceramics, which are considered a major highlight of the museum's permanent studio pottery display.
