Daisy Makeig-jones, Lustre Butterfly Bowl, Wedgwood, C. 1914

1900 - 1920
Description

This antique lustre footed bowl, in the ‘York Cup’ shape, was designed by Daisy Makeig-Jones for Wedgwood. The bowl exemplifies her distinctive Lustre style, which rose to prominence in the early 20th century.

The piece is adorned with vibrant, iridescent colors and intricate patterns. The interior features a deep blue surface speckled with a starry effect, while the exterior displays a rich orange hue with crimson mottling and gold accents, including a gilded butterfly motif. A gilded rim and base enhance the luxurious quality of the design.

The base bears the Wedgwood Portland Vase mark, confirming its authenticity.

Susannah Margaretta "Daisy" Makeig-Jones (1881–1945) joined Wedgwood in 1909 and became a full designer with her own studio in 1914. She pioneered innovative pottery production technologies, resulting in the creation of the iconic Fairyland and Ordinary Lustre series. This bowl corresponds to pattern Z4825, part of the initial Ordinary Lustre range introduced in 1914. This specific design, decorated with highly ornamented gilded butterflies, was produced from 1914 to 1929 and is now highly collectible. Limited production and the growing appreciation for Makeig-Jones' artistry have led to rising values, making her work a sound investment for collectors.

FAQs

Lustreware ceramics were produced by Wedgwood starting in the early nineteenth century and popularized further in the early twentieth century under designers like Daisy Makeig-Jones. These ceramics utilize metallic glazes to produce shimmering, iridescent surfaces inspired by mythical themes and natural motifs.

Lustreware is crafted from refined ceramic or bone china bodies coated with metallic oxide glazes, such as copper, gold, or bismuth. During a specialized reduction firing process, the metal compounds form a thin iridescent film over the glaze, often finished with delicate gold leaf gilding.

Authentic pieces feature impressed or printed Wedgwood maker marks on the base, often accompanied by specific pattern numbers. The gilding displays precise hand-applied detail, and the iridescent glaze exhibits complex colour variations unique to the firing process.

Place the bowl on a dark wood sideboard, glass display shelf, or marble mantelpiece where natural light can accentuate the metallic glaze. It functions effectively as a focal decorative object alongside minimalist or contemporary tableware.

Clean lustreware gently using a soft microfibre cloth dampened with warm water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive sponges, harsh chemical cleaners, or immersion in dishwashers, as these will rub off the delicate surface gilding and dull the iridescent metallic sheen.
