MARTINWARE ANGRY FISH TEE
So, when I worked in the antiques game (Portobello Road etc) in the 1990s, I did a lot of studying of arty stuff. The objects that really piqued my interested were Japanese works of art and British art / studio pottery. This included the arts and craft movement output. Part of that included Martin Brothers pottery. They were four brothers who created the most unbelievable pottery from 1873 to 1914. Much of their pottery is decorated in wacky and charismatic birds and fish. I've never been able to afford a piece of Martin Ware as it's highly sought after. So, I found two fish I really loved on an original vase, took a photo, got them redrawn and found blank tee shirts that looks a little like the stoneware pottery the brothers used to make. The result is this tee shirt. We have made hardly any as it's a bit of an odd experiment and homage to a bunch of pretty strange but hugely talented London brothers from over 100 years ago. As for sizing, should fit as normal, if you know what I mean, so if you're normally L, buy an L.
