Fairyland Lustre Pillar Vase
Wedgwood
Circa 1920

One of the earliest Fairyland Lustre motifs, this Pillar pattern vase by Wedgwood features the fantastical Isle of the Genii, populated with nymphs and elves at every turn. Introduced by Wedgwood artist Daisy Makeig-Jones in 1915, Fairyland Lustre marked a true departure from the factory's history of classic design and subdued color with its fiery hues and fanciful subjects. Fairyland Lustre wares were well received and the range of works produced during the 1920s was remarkable. Today, these works are extremely rare and highly sought after by collectors. The Pillar pattern is masterfully painted upon a fine pear-shaped vase, form #3451.

Marked with the Wedgwood "Portland" stamp with the pattern number Z4968.

12" high x 6 1/2" diameter
