RARE Wedgwood Shine Series Lustreware FuDogs & BaiFuku Bowl Daisy Makeig-Jones
Posted by admin On September 5, 2026
This rare antique bowl was designed by Daisy Makeig-Jones for Wedgwood as part of her celebrated early Shine series, produced between 1914 and 1929. It features a rich aqua blue mottled glaze on the outside, decorated with gilt delicate Fudogs, and a stunning interior glazed in mother-of-pearl with hand-painted mythological figures Bai-fuku (Hermit) and Waso-byo-e (Japanese Gulliver) flying on cranes and geese, all slightly different design. The design is documented in Una Des Fontaines’ 1975 reference book Wedgwood Fairyland Lustre, page 83. I think this may have been one of the earliest examples produced and is slightly larger in size than the one mentioned in Una Des Fontaines. The base does not have the normal mark of the Wedgwood Portland Vase mark, as can be seen in photos but it is definitely a rare example of her work which is highly sought after. Daisy Makeig-Jones, a renowned Wedgwood designer, was known for her fantastical imagery, combining underglaze variegation, overglaze iridescence, and gilded detail. The Shine series represents her earliest experiments in lustreware and is prized among collectors of Art Deco and fairyland-themed ceramics. This bowl is both a display-worthy decorative object and a coveted piece of ceramic history. Measurements Height: 6.3 cm / 2.50″ Top diameter: 13 cm / 5″ Base diameter: 6.5 cm / 2.5.

The craftsmanship throughout reflects the high standards expected of official British government or royal household items of the period. Both decorative and deeply historical, this rare despatch box would make a distinguished statement in a study, library, or office setting. It stands not only as a beautifully made object, but as a tangible connection to the administrative and ceremonial workings of the British Empire under King George V.

Early 1800S Handmade Grape Vine Harvesting Knife With Horn Handle RARE antique
Posted by admin On September 3, 2026
I believe this to be early Italian handmade from the research I’ve done. This is a grapevine harvesting knife. It is extremely primitive and early looks very new but yet it’s still very functional and feels as though it’s made to open and close properly and it’s own unique handmade design. This is a rare rare artifact and I’ve done very little research and this is everything.
