Large, Japanese, Blue and White Imari Jardiniere, 19th Century

This is a stunning Wedgwood lustre vase, circa 1914, designed by Daisy Makeig-Jones.

The inside of the vase has a gilded border featuring Oriental scenes of pagodas and gardens, below which are four mythical birds which seem to float in magical suspension over the pale green glaze of the interior. Daisy Mekeig-Jones apprenticed at Wedgwood in 1909 and only two years later, by 1911, she had started to create her own designs at the factory.
