Mark Marshall Vase
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.
one fantastical vase by him measures 20 inches in height and is estimated to be worth over $58,000.

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 Doulton’s art department, on the Doulton Marqueterie range which features Mark’s stylish and popular reptilian decorations.

Mark’s 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 Mark’s senior. Mark then acquired an additional four brothers. Unfortunately only one of these survived to maturity, which was fairly common in Victorian times
