Art Nouveau Etched Glass Cameo Vase signed Devez

This is a stunning Wedgwood lustre vase, circa 1914, designed by Daisy Makeig-Jones. The flared form vase has an iridescent overglaze on a pale blue ground, and is decorated with intricately detailed, swirling dragons in gold on all four sides. 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. In 1913 she started designing the Oriental dragon patterns seen here, and by 1915 she had begun the Fairyland lustre ware for which she would become famous. These designs became incredibly popular and helped boost the company's success after the first world war. This beautiful vase, particularly with its fanciful bird-like creatures floating whimsically on the inside, feels like a true precursor to the Fairyland lustreware...
