Daisy Makeig-jones Wedgwood Fairyland Lustre Green Butterfly Bowl, C.1920

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Ritas Bazaar
Description

A finely decorated Wedgwood Fairyland Lustre bowl produced in England circa 1920 under the direction of Daisy Makeig-Jones. The bowl belongs to the celebrated Fairyland Lustre series, noted for its brilliant iridescent surfaces, rich gilding and imaginative decorative schemes.

The exterior displays a particularly attractive mottled green lustre enriched with emerald, olive and violet tones. Gilded butterflies are scattered across the surface, while the rim and foot are highlighted with Greek Key ornament in gold.

The interior is finished in luminous Mother-of-Pearl Lustre and centred by a finely painted exotic bird amongst stylised foliage. The original mark and pattern number have largely worn away. The decoration suggests an association with pattern Z4831, although minor variations from the catalogue description are present, a recognised feature within Fairyland Lustre production.

Daisy Makeig-Jones helped elevate Wedgwood to international prominence through her innovative lustre designs, and Fairyland Lustre remains one of the most desirable ranges produced by the factory. An attractive cabinet-sized example combining excellent colour, strong gilding and outstanding preservation.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Designed by Daisy Makeig-Jones in the 1910s and 1920s for Wedgwood, Fairyland Lustre ceramics are renowned for their iridescent glazes, intricate gilded detailing, and whimsical motifs drawn from folklore and mythology.

These vessels were crafted from fine porcelain or bone china, rendered with iridescent metallic-oxide glazes fired at high temperatures, and embellished with detailed gilt transfer printing and hand-painted accents.

Authentic examples typically display the printed Wedgwood Portland vase mark, specific pattern and shape numbers painted on the base, distinct iridescent sheen, and precise gilded line work.

Display the vessel on a polished sideboard, mantelpiece, or inside an illuminated display cabinet where natural or directed light highlights its iridescent metallic finish and rich green tones.

Dust gently using a clean, soft microfibre cloth or horsehair brush. Avoid using abrasive chemicals, immersion in hot water, or harsh detergents, as these can erode delicate gilded details and lustre glazes.
