Daisy Makeig-jones Fairyland Dragon Lantern Bowl, Wedgwood, C. 1915-1920

1900 - 1920
Description

This exquisite Fairyland Dragon Lantern Bowl, created by Daisy Makeig-Jones for Wedgwood between 1915 and 1920, is a stunning example of early 20th-century ceramic art. The piece bears the Wedgwood gold stamp and pattern number Z4829, confirming its authenticity and rarity.

The bowl’s unique shape is rarely seen, making it particularly attractive to collectors of Daisy Makeig-Jones works. The combination of a lustre finish and skillful gilding exemplifies the innovative technique and artistic vision of Daisy Makeig-Jones

Susanna Margaretta ‘Daisy’ Makeig-Jones was an influential pottery designer for Wedgwood, renowned for her Fairyland Lustre series, which appeared shortly after she became a full-time designer in 1914. She masterfully combined underglaze variegation, overglaze grain, and iridescence with intricate gilded designs, creating a completely new and captivating style in stoneware.

The first ten lustre series, including this bowl (pattern Z4829), showcased Daisy’s innovative use of color and design. These early pieces, produced between 1914 and 1929, have become collectors' items due to their unique artistic qualities and limited production. Daisy's work, characterized by vivid imagination and technical skill, is increasingly sought after, making her pieces not only artistic treasures but also worthwhile investments.

Dimensions: Top diameter 13.7 cm, bottom diameter 9.2 cm, diameter at the widest part 15.6 cm, height 7.5 cm, weight 386 grams.

Condition: The bowl is in excellent antique condition, with no noticeable chips, cracks, or repairs. The lustre and gilding remain bright.

FAQs

Fairyland Lustre is a line of decorative ceramics designed primarily by Daisy Makeig-Jones for Wedgwood between 1915 and 1941, characterised by iridescent metallic glazes and detailed mythical or oriental motifs.

Lustreware ceramics are produced by applying metallic glazes containing gold or other oxides onto bone china or earthenware bodies, which are fired multiple times in a reducing kiln to form a reflective, iridescent surface finish.

Authentic pieces feature impressed or printed Wedgwood factory backmarks on the base, alongside specific hand-painted pattern codes, shape numbers, and distinct multi-layered gilt detail on the glaze.

A vibrant ceramic lustre bowl functions as a central accent on a polished sideboard, mantelpiece, or within a glass cabinet where ambient lighting highlights the iridescent surface reflections.

Gilded ceramics should be dusted gently with a dry microfibre cloth or cleaned using warm water and mild liquid soap, avoiding abrasive pads, chemical cleaners, or prolonged immersion.
