1900 - 1920
For Sale by Ritas Bazaar
Description

A fine Wedgwood Fairyland Lustre bowl designed by Daisy Makeig-Jones and decorated in the celebrated Z4827 pattern from the No. 5 Lustre Range. Introduced in 1914, this design belongs to the earliest phase of Fairyland production and remains one of the most recognisable patterns associated with the series.

The ruby lustre exterior displays rich crimson and burgundy mottling highlighted with gilded Oriental motifs and gold borders. The Mother-of-Pearl Lustre interior is decorated with four colourful butterflies and centred by a gilded rose medallion surrounded by enamelled ornament. The inner rim is finished with the repeating Pan-Fei pattern in gold.

A faint pattern number remains visible on the underside. Although produced until 1929, examples in this ruby lustre colourway were made in limited numbers and are particularly sought after by collectors today. Daisy Makeig-Jones' Fairyland Lustre designs remain among the most celebrated achievements of twentieth-century British ceramics.

Fairyland Lustre is a line of decorative ceramics produced by Wedgwood in the early twentieth century, designed by Daisy Makeig-Jones. It is characterised by whimsical fantasy themes executed in metallic glazes and detailed gilding.

Lustreware is crafted from porcelain or bone china treated with metallic oxides during the firing process. This technique produces an iridescent glaze, often enhanced with hand-applied gilding and enamel detailing.

Authentic pieces typically feature stamped or impressed Wedgwood makers marks on the base alongside specific pattern numbers. The execution of the iridescent glaze and detailed gilding demonstrates precise period craftmanship.

A decorative lustre bowl serves as a focal accent on a sideboard top, mantelpiece, or within a glass display cabinet. Its iridescent surface catches natural light, adding rich tone and historical texture to contemporary spaces.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to protect the delicate surface gilding. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents, harsh chemical detergents, or immersing the object in water.
