| 词条 | Wally Bird |
| 释义 |
A Wally Bird is a tobacco jar or vase in the style of a grotesque owl or bird, first termed for the sculptural productions in this form by Robert Wallace Martin. These were typical examples of Martinware — salt-glazed stoneware which was produced by the Martin Brothers in their pottery; first in Fulham and then in Southall. The Wally Birds were popular but did not make the Martins wealthy; the pottery closed during the Great Depression. Examples of these birds now sell at auction for large sums of money.[1][2] References1. ^{{citation |title=Southall and Hanwell |author=Jonathan Oates |year=2003 |page=67}} {{ceramics-stub}}2. ^{{citation |title=Christie's art nouveau |author=Fiona Gallagher |year=2000 |quote=the Martin Brothers were extremely popular with their series of 'Wally Bird' tobacco jars formed as grotesque, comical or pensive owl-like birds}} 1 : English pottery |
