MAKER’S MARK AND BOSTON STORE INCISED ON BASE, J. MOD & S CO. IN BOSTON” “DOULTON LAMBETH ENGLAND. MEASURES APPROX: 9″ TALL X 11″ L X 4 7/8 W. BIO OF MARK V MARSHALL. Mark Marshall like George Tinworth, trained at the Lambeth School of Art. After training at Lambeth he moved on to work at a local masons yard. During this period he also helped at the Martin Brothers pottery until 1874, when he joined Royal Doulton. Mark Marshalls work is some of the boldest and most exuberant ever produced at the Doulton Art Pottery. Many of his pieces undoubtedly owe much to the Martin brothers, with grotesque and fanciful animals modeled in high relief and hiding among scrolling foliage. His time at Martin Brothers includes an impressive stoneware vase lavishly modeled with a scaly creature winding around the vase. Its offspring cowering under the usual scrolling foliage. Mark Marshall continued with his own work too. His pottery reliefs of Biblical scenes were exhibited at the Royal Academy and were particularly well received. His work was admired by John Ruskin. As a major influence in the Royal Doulton world in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Marshall designed and manufactured a wide range of grotesque figures in all sorts of scenes. During his time at Doulton, Mark Marshall worked closely with William Rix the manager of Doultons art department, on the Doulton Marqueterie range which features Marks stylish and popular reptilian decorations. Mark Marshall was born to Elizabeth Susanna Valsler in August 1842. His father was Frederick Marshall and they married in June 1841 at St Nicholass Church, Rochester, Kent. Marks mother Elizabeth died at just 39 years old in January 1858. Mark had four brothers and sisters. His father then married a younger woman who was only ten years Marks senior. Mark then acquired an additional four brothers. Unfortunately only one of these survived to maturity, which was fairly common in Victorian times. Mark married Helen Relf in 1864, one of the many Relf sisters that the Marshall brothers married. Mark Marshall was the son of a stonemason and Marks occupation is detailed as a sculptor in the 1881 census. Despite his earlier connection with Martin Brothers he fell out with them in later life.
