They measure 5 5/8″ in height by 3 1/8″ in diameter and all re signed Martz. In very good vintage condition.The following was taken from the Makers Guild website, words by Dierdre Jordan:The creators of Martz lamps and pottery met at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University, where they were both students. Gordon and Jane Martz married when they graduated in 1951, and they began their married life by moving to Jane’s home, Veedersburg, Indiana. Jane Marshall Martz hailed from the founders of Marshall Studios, a lamp company founded in 1922 by Jane’s grandmother. By 1951, the company had been in Veedersburg for ten years, in a building originally built as a WPA project. Marshall Studios was by then in the hands of Jane’s parents, Nicholas and Grace Marshall, who wanted the young couple to contribute their talents to the enterprise.Both Jane and Gordon had had intensive ceramics and design training at the Alfred University, where Gordon’s interest in engineering also were nurtured. Jane had gone to Alfred for the sole purpose of learning design and technical ceramics training she would need to expand and carry on the family business. Meeting Gordon there was fortuitous; Jane had not only found a life partner, but also a studio partner to help realize their ambitions. less
