Like many English designers before her, Wedgwood designer Daisy Makeig-Jones was drawn to the arts and design of China and Japan, and particularly to the countries’ mythology and mystic symbolism. This bowl’s shimmering green lustre exterior displays motifs from the Hundred Antiques, a collection of objects with symbolic meaning in Chinese culture. The mother-of-pearl lustre interior shows Chinese characters surrounding a ‘Coiling Dragon,’ a design which Makeig-Jones created during a seaside holiday.
