Description

Antique Wedgwood small lustreware bowl by Daisy Makeig-Jones – butterfly design, c. 1914

This elegant antique small bowl, designed by Daisy Makeig-Jones for Wedgwood, features a smooth pearly exterior adorned with fine gilt decorations along the top edge. The interior radiates a vibrant orange-gold lustre, highlighted by intricate gilded patterns along the rim. At the centre of the bowl lies a beautifully gilded butterfly, adding a delicate and striking touch to the design.

The base bears the Wedgwood Portland Vase mark.

Historical background:

Susannah Margaretta "Daisy" Makeig-Jones (1881–1945) joined Wedgwood in 1909 and became a full designer with her own studio in 1914.

This bowl, corresponding to pattern Z4832, is part of the Ordinary Lustre range introduced in 1914. The butterfly design was produced until 1929 and remains highly collectible today. Limited production, combined with growing recognition of Makeig-Jones' artistry, has made her works a valuable investment for collectors.

This small decorative bowl dates from the 1910 period and follows the Art Nouveau style. Made from bone china with a glaze and gold leaf finish, it displays an orange and white colour scheme with a butterfly motif, gilt border, mottled glaze, and a footed base. The vessel measures 2.7 cm high, 7.6 cm wide, and 7.6 cm deep. Designed by Daisy Makeig-Jones for Wedgwood around 1914, the piece presents a smooth pearly exterior and a vibrant orange-gold lustre interior with intricate gilded patterns and a central butterfly. The rim features fine gilt decoration, and the footed base raises the shallow body off the surface. A collector would place this item on a sideboard top to display the lustreware glaze and gilding in a domestic interior.

FAQs

Wedgwood lustreware refers to bone china pieces finished with iridescent metallic glazes, developed under the artistic direction of designer Daisy Makeig-Jones during the early twentieth century.

These decorative objects were crafted from fine translucent bone china, decorated with specialized metallic lustre glazes, and detailed with hand-applied gold leaf gilding.

Authentic items display printed or impressed Wedgwood maker marks on the underside, specific pattern reference numbers starting with the letter Z, and characteristic iridescent multi-toned glazes.

Position the piece on a sideboard, shelf, or bedside table where ambient or natural lighting highlights the iridescent surface finish and detailed gold line work.

Dust the surface gently using a clean, soft microfiber cloth, and avoid immersion in water, liquid detergents, or abrasive polishes that could lift the gilding or alter the glaze.
