This Wedgwood antique bowl dates from the 1910 period and follows an Art Nouveau style. Manufactured from bone china with a lustre glaze and gilding, the piece measures 8 cm in height and 12 cm in diameter. The exterior displays a deep blue powder blue finish alongside a hand-painted multicolour butterfly in flight motif, a gilded scroll rim, and a pedestal foot. The interior showcases a mother-of-pearl lustre glaze with pale staining visible inside, complemented by fine gilding and a crack visible on the side. Suitable for placement on a sideboard top in a home today, the bowl provides a decorative accent for living spaces or display cabinets. The maximalist wonderland design vibe brings an artistic touch to tabletops, while the small scale allows for versatile positioning among other collectables or as a standalone piece of ceramic art.

FAQs

Developed in the early 20th century under designer Daisy Makeig-Jones, Wedgwood lustreware features iridescent glazes, rich mottled grounds, and intricate gilded motifs such as butterflies and fairies.

These decorative items are crafted from fine bone china or porcelain, coated with specialized metallic oxide glazes fired at high temperatures to achieve a shimmering effect, and embellished with gold gilding.

Authentic pieces generally feature the printed or impressed Wedgwood Portland Vase trademark on the base, specific pattern numbers prefixed with the letter Z, precise gilding details, and a distinct depth of glaze.

Place the footed bowl on a sideboard, glass display cabinet, or mantelpiece where ambient light can accentuate the iridescent interior finish, creating an understated focal point within contemporary rooms.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid immersion in water or the use of chemical detergents and abrasive sponges, which can wear away delicate overglaze gilding and metallic glazes.
