Designer Daisy Makeig-Jones created whimsical and unique ceramics for Wedgwood in the beginning of the 20th century. Her creations brought the factory back to the forefront of pottery innovation and provided middle-class consumers with an aesthetic escape during the years of the First World War. This petite bowl, featuring delicately gilded butterflies atop a unique brown glaze, is an example of Daisy’s singular artistry. The stunning brown tortoiseshell glaze is not often seen and was likely achieved through the mixing of orange and green lustres. The mother-of-pearl interior shows an elaborately gilded scarab beetle.
