Rare Wedgwood Lustre Art Bowl, Z5176, Designed by James Hodgkiss, England, C.1917

1900 - 1920
Description

An exceptional Wedgwood octagonal Lustre bowl, pattern Z5176, created by James Hodgkiss, who served as chief designer and mentor to Daisy Makeig-Jones. The bowl is decorated with a rich powder-blue ground and features finely hand-painted lily-of-the-valley motifs both inside and out—a technical achievement rare for Wedgwood at the time. James Hodgkiss’s influence was crucial in setting the standard for Wedgwood’s lustre productions in the early twentieth century. His limited pattern series, including this bowl, is now recognized for its artistry and scarcity. Collectors value such pieces for their craftsmanship, visual impact and place in British decorative art history. Marked Wedgwood & England in brown and hand-numbered Z5176 beneath the base.

Condition: Excellent for its age. Two lower corners show minute changes in the blue enamel, only visible under magnification; otherwise pristine, with perfect gold and crisp enamels. Reflections may appear in the images — these are not flaws in the item, but rather visual effects caused by the lustre glaze. Slight distortions or highlights are a natural result of its iridescent surface.

Size: Height 6.2 cm, width 11.2 cm.

The stand is not included in the sale.

Please study the accompanying photographs carefully as they form an integral part of this description. If you have any questions, we will be happy to answer them. The item will be shipped with full tracking and insurance.

FAQs

Wedgwood lustre ware refers to decorative bone china and porcelain pieces produced by the English firm Wedgwood from the early twentieth century, characterised by iridescent metallic glazes, intricate gilding, and enamel decorations.

These bowls were manufactured using fine bone china or porcelain, finished with coloured powder glazes, hand-applied enamel details, and liquid gold lustre decorations fired onto the surface.

Authentic pieces feature impressed or printed Wedgwood factory backmarks, pattern codes (often prefixed with letters like Z), precise gilding, and consistent enamel work.

A decorative lustre bowl can be placed on a sideboard, coffee table, or display cabinet to serve as a focal point that adds colour and texture to modern interiors.

Clean gently by hand using warm water and a mild detergent, avoiding abrasive pads, chemical cleaners, or dishwashers to prevent wear to the delicate surface gilding and enamel.
