Wedgwood Fairyland Lustre for Sale

Fairyland Lustre ware is among the most valuable of all Wedgwood ceramics from any period. It was designed by Daisy Makeig-Jones, who was very enterprising. She approached Wedgwood herself and said, "I want to work for you," in 1909.

Fairyland Lustre
Jasper Ware

Daisy Makeig-Jones was employed and became a paintress and ultimately a decorator. She was ultimately allowed to introduce her own line, which very few designers ever did with Wedgwood. In 1915 Daisy Makeig-Jones launched the Fairyland Lustre line, which was hugely successful for Wedgwood, especially after the First World War, when the British and many Europeans were looking for something to escape the horrors of the war.

The quality of pieces varies a little over the period of manufacture, from 1915 until 1931 when they made the last piece. Daisy was fired by Wedgwood in 1931 as she got a bit out of hand. The surviving pieces are fragile and they do get broken and are sometimes repaired, so look carefully. However surviving pieces in good condition are really very valuable
