grotesque bird tobacco jar (jar)
Decorative ArtDescriptions
Most of these grotesque ‘bird’ jars were made by Wallace Martin. They do not represent any single species, rather they are part human in character, owing much to the maker’s imagination. Some are caricatures of admirals, generals and judges, while others portrayed particular politicians and celebrities.
This object is on display at RAMM in the Courtyard.
