A 19th century Martin Brothers decorative stoneware plate of golfing interest depicting a smartly dressed gentleman about to play a shot, with the text 'Approach by the Short Spoon' to the left hand side, finished in green, blur and brown glazes, 21 cm diameter, inscribed marks to base and dated 1878, (a/f), together with an earthenware figure study of a fisherman, his knee resting on a rock, unmarked but possibly the work of Robert Wallace Martin given the style and material, (as well as the source). RW Martin produced a range of similar figures around the turn of the century, this figure being 21 cm high, (also a/f). (2) Provenance: Part of a single owner collection originally acquired directly from the Martin Brothers Pottery, by Samuel L. M. Avery Esq., a master builder and resident of Southall. Avery was a friend and acquaintance of the Martin family, often visiting the pottery where he bought pieces directly from them for his own collection. The collection was inherited by his descendants and has remained in the family ever since, only being recently discovered following the passing of his daughter. CONDITION REPORT The plate with cracks and repairs throughout, with chips to the edge. The figure is missing the lower left arm and appears overall to be unfinished. Firing cracks present.
