Description

A fine and rare Wedgwood Fairyland Lustre bowl in the Z4830 pattern, designed by Daisy Makeig-Jones circa 1915. The exterior in Orange Lustre with all-color stainings and mottling, predominantly blue and brown, is decorated with butterflies in fine gilding. The interior features Mother-of-Pearl Lustre with green stainings and a large central butterfly motif, hand-painted in iridescent detail. Measuring 5.2 cm high and 9.5 cm wide, this is a notable collector’s piece, documented in Wedgwood’s Decoration Book and highly desirable to serious collectors of Art Deco ceramics. With early Lustre becoming scarcer each year, pieces like this are increasingly viewed as both works of art and investment objects. The lustre colours are far more vivid in reality than any photograph can show; reflections in images are not defects.

Condition: Excellent antique condition.

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.

Declaration

Wedgwood lustreware, notably popularised by designer Daisy Makeig-Jones in the early 20th century, features iridescent metallic glazes inspired by Persian and Chinese ceramics.

Lustreware is crafted from fine ceramic or porcelain, fired with metallic oxide glazes that produce an iridescent sheen, often accented with hand-applied gilding.

Authentic pieces typically feature official factory backstamps, distinctive registration numbers, and characteristic vibrant, iridescent colour variations unique to early 20th-century ceramic glazing techniques.

An antique lustre bowl can be displayed as a standalone decorative object on a bookshelf or mantelpiece, where its reflective metallic glaze catches natural light.

Antique lustreware should be cleaned exclusively by dusting with a soft, dry cloth; immersion in water or the use of chemical cleaning agents must be avoided to protect the delicate metallic glaze.
