Catalogue Note
Susannah Margaretta Makeig-Jones (1881–1945), ‘Daisy’ as she was known since childhood began her career as a trainee ceramic designer at the Wedgwood factory in 1909. Only five years later in 1916 she introduced the phenomenal range to which this vase belongs known as Fairyland Lustre. This pattern is discussed by Una des Fontaines, Wedgwood Fairyland Lustre, 1975, p. 195.
