Daisy Makeig-jones Wedgwood, Lustre Bowl Coiling Dragon, C.1915

1900 - 1920
Description

A fine and rare Wedgwood Lustre bowl, with slightly worn pattern Z4831, designed by Daisy Makeig-Jones circa 1915. The green lustre exterior is reinforced by multicolored stainings, creating a shimmering violet hue, and is adorned with gilt oriental-style animals. The interior features a coiling dragon with a human face at the center, surrounded by stylized blue clouds. Daisy Makeig-Jones brought new life to Wedgwood at a time of financial uncertainty, yet her vision went far beyond decorative appeal. She imagined porcelain as a stage for fantastical stories, brought to life with opulent colors and refined detail. Measuring 5.3 cm high and 10 cm wide, this bowl is as much an artistic creation as it is a rare collector’s acquisition, with increasing scarcity and market demand.

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. The item will be shipped with full tracking and insurance.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Designed by Daisy Makeig-Jones in the early 20th century, Wedgwood dragon lustreware features iridescent glazes adorned with gilt Chinese mythological motifs, including dragons and mythical beasts.

These pieces are typically crafted from fine porcelain or bone china, coated with metallic oxide glazes to achieve iridescence, and finished with hand-applied gold gilding.

Authentic items usually display printed Wedgwood factory marks on the base alongside hand-painted pattern numbers starting with letters such as Z, indicating Makeig-Jones designs.

A lustre bowl serves as a refined accent piece on a sideboard top, mantelpiece, or glass-fronted cabinet where natural or directional lighting highlights its iridescent finish.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or immersion in water to protect the delicate metallic glazes and gold gilding.
