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.

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.

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.
