FAQs

Wedgwood dragon lustre porcelain was designed by Daisy Makeig-Jones in the 1910s. The series incorporated Orientalist dragons and mythical creatures, combining metallic lustre glazes with gold gilding to produce iridescent decorative ceramics.

These ceramics were crafted from bone china or hard-paste porcelain, coated with metallic oxide glazes that achieved iridescence during firing, and finished with hand-applied gold leaf or powdered gold gilding.

Authentic pieces feature impressed or printed Wedgwood maker marks on the base, along with pattern numbers prefixed with the letter Z and specific shape numbers associated with the production range.

Miniature porcelain pieces are styled within glass display cabinets, arranged on bookshelf risers, or positioned as accent objects on mantlepieces to showcase detailed gilding and glazed finishes.

Dust the surface using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a soft bristle brush. Avoid water immersion, steam cleaning, and abrasive chemical polish, as liquid and friction can wear away delicate gilding and surface glazes.
