Martin Brothers stoneware aquatic vase of tapering square shouldered form, dated 1905, incised Martin Bros, London & Southall above the date 1905, incised with grotesque scaly fish swimming, enriched in mottled brown and grey-blue glazes, on waved foot, 24cm high
This has been extensively overpainted and lacquered, with restoration evident to the rim and footrim. Due to the extent of the overpainting and lacquering it is hard to tell if this is simply overpainting to areas of the glaze that have flaked away or if it is more extensive damage. The interior of the vase is very clean and appears to be solid with no cracking or breaks apparent.
