#10: Martinware, 1880
When people talk about the Victorian Era, they usually refer to the period between 1837 to 1901, when Queen Victoria reigned the British Empire. During those years, the UK reigned supreme both politically and culturally. Although people were more conservative back then, they liked some weird stuff…

Their obsession with death and the occult is notable, but their fondness for everything weird is better illustrated by the truly odd pottery they liked to buy. Sure, you can find similar strange items surfing around Etsy, but you have to admit this is rather unique, especially for a time when beauty and taste were very important.
