Wedgwood Fairyland Lustre Octagonal “celestial Dragon” Bowl By Daisy Makeig-jones, C.1915

A fine Wedgwood Fairyland Lustre octagonal bowl, designed by Daisy Makeig-Jones around 1915. The exterior is finished in a deep blue lustre with decorative gilded patterns in an Eastern style. The interior presents a luminous mother-of-pearl lustre with gold and bluish accents, featuring at its center a detailed “celestial dragon” motif surrounded by stylized calligraphic symbols.                                                                                                                                                    Fairyland Lustreware production was organized into eight distinct color schemes, four of which reflected natural light conditions — day, night, sunset, and moonlight. Makeig-Jones occasionally combined two schemes in a single work, producing especially dramatic effects as seen here.                                                                                                                                                       Such a combination of rare form, unusual color, and rich decorative detail ensures exceptional collector interest. Over time, the works of Daisy Makeig-Jones have shown a steady increase in value, making this piece a fine decorative object and a sound investment. Height: 5 cm Diameter: 9.2 cm Condition: Excellent condition.                                                                                                            Reflections may appear in the images — these are not flaws in the item, but rather visual effects caused by the lustre glaze. Slight distortions or highlights are a natural result of its iridescent surface. The stand is not included in the sale.
