Executed in jewel tones with gold painted details and iridescent glazes, this circa-1920 octagonal bowl is decorated with panels of a storybook landscape on the outside and winged fairies and other fanciful creatures on the inside. It’s a wonderful example of the Fairyland Lusterware line developed by Daisy Makeig-Jones (1881-1945) for Wedgwood Pottery. 

Born in Yorkshire, England, Makeig-Jones began an apprenticeship at Wedgwood in 1909, and by 1914 was working as a lead designer. She created the Fairyland line with influence from the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau movements, as well as contemporary fairy-tale book illustrations by the likes of Arthur Rackham, Kay Nielsen and Edmund Dulac. Her fantastical wares served as a bright contrast to the dark period of World War I and helped make her one of the best-known ceramic designers of the early 20th century. This bowl, along with several others designed by Makeig-Jones, is part of the Frank J. Connell collection of Wedgwood ceramics displayed at Chateau-sur-Mer. (Bequest of Mr. Francis J. Connell, 1988).
