Description

A rare set of six Wedgwood blue lustre plates designed by Daisy Makeig-Jones circa 1915 (pattern X8485). Powder-blue mottled ground with lavish hand-gilded decoration: birds, Japanese-inspired pines and landscapes, a rural village view; continuous gilt wave-and-scroll rims. These plates were sold as functional tableware, yet their pristine condition shows they were never used. A rare case for Makeig-Jones’ designs—typically decorative rather than utilitarian—and exceptionally preserved, with prestigious retailer provenance. All six plates are double-marked — Wedgwood and special retail order for James Powell & Sons (Whitefriars Glass Works, London). Whitefriars were premier London glass and stained-glass makers who retailed Wedgwood in their showrooms and presented such ensembles at exhibitions of the period. Dual-marked examples are recorded in institutional collections (including the V\&A and the Museum of London) and are coveted by advanced collectors.

Size (each): Ø 22.6 cm; H 2.7 cm. Total weight approx. 2,487 g.

Condition: Excellent antique condition; bright lustre and sharp gilding.

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. It is important to note that shipping costs include labour, packaging and postage.

Wedgwood lustreware, popularised in the early 20th century, is renowned for its iridescent metallic glazes and fantastical imagery, largely designed by Daisy Makeig-Jones.

These pieces are crafted from fine earthenware or porcelain, utilising specialised metallic oxide glazes fired at high temperatures to achieve a shimmering, iridescent finish.

Authentic items typically bear factory backstamps, distinctive registration numbers, and show meticulous hand-painted enamel and gilt detailing over the lustrous glaze.

These vibrant, decorative objects can be displayed on wall mounts, within glass-fronted cabinets, or used as striking centrepieces on sideboards to introduce colour and historical depth.

To preserve the delicate metallic glazes and gilt work, pieces should be washed by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent and kept away from direct sunlight.
