What sort of Wedgwood turns up most often?

Bowls. The word appears in more titles than any other, and most of those are lustre bowls from the early twentieth century. Behind them come jasperware table pieces, with the biscuit barrel as the recurring shape, and caneware game pie dishes.

Who is Daisy Makeig-Jones?

The designer named in one listing title in five, which makes her name almost as common in this category as the word jasperware. Her work here is the lustre: Fairyland scenes, dragon and butterfly patterns, and plainer lustre bowls. Titles often quote her name alongside a Z pattern number.

How old is most of it?

The dated listings run from 1800 to 1930. Around half carry a clean year and the rest give only a period word, most often 19th Century. Decade labels bunch at both ends: the 1880s and 1890s for jasperware, the 1900s through the 1920s for lustre. A couple of titles claim 1780s or 1790s dates for creamware and basalt.

Which pieces sit at the top of the range?

Complete services. Creamware and majolica dessert and dinner services take the highest positions, above any single ornamental piece. Tiles and small trinket boxes sit at the bottom.

Are there figures in this category?

Very few. This is tableware and table furniture: services, tureens, platters, barrels, urns, candlesticks and bowls. Only a handful of figures have passed through, among them a Skeaping deer and a sea lion.

What are the odder things listed under Wedgwood?

An invalid feeder, a lemon strainer, a quill holder dish, a bin label, a set of jasper fumigators and a complete ceramic bathroom set have all appeared. Two pottery foot baths have come through as well, one printed with the Tower of London seen from the Thames. Tiles arrive in named series, including Months of the Year and a Game series.
