Daisy Makeig-Jones is best known for the Fairyland Lustre line she created for Wedgwood, consisting of lavishly-decorated pieces which depicted fantastical scenes of her own imagination. Technically difficult to produce, these exquisite works of art were afforded by the wealthy. Wedgwood Fairyland Lustres’ whimsical, and often absurd scenes, provided an escape from a society recovering from the horrors of World War I. Upon closer inspection of this vase in the ‘Castle on a Road’ pattern, it is easy to understand how one can find themself lost in Makeig-Jones’s designs.
