Makeig-Jones was known for her pioneering work at Wedgwood, where she introduced fantastical motifs and iridescent finishes that helped define early 20th-century ceramic design.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe bowl is crafted in the elegant York Cup shape, with a gently flared rim and a low, raised foot. The exterior features a deep mottled crimson enamel ground with finely detailed gilt butterflies. The interior is richly enamelled in a starry iridescent purple and blue, with a central gilt scarab surrounded by a scrolling floral border.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe base is printed with the Wedgwood Portland Vase mark and the hand-painted pattern number Z4825. This design was produced only between 1914 and 1929, and the series is now highly sought-after by collectors of English Art Deco and lustreware.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis bowl would make a standout piece in any collection of early 20th-century ceramics or a refined accent in an Art Deco or maximalist interior.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMeasurements\u003cbr\u003e\nTop diameter: 11.5 cm \/ 4.5″\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight: 6.3 cm \/ 2.5″\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition\u003cbr\u003e\nExcellent antique condition.
