Wedgwood Fairyland Lustre Imperial Bowl, Firbolgs IV Z5346
Wedgwood Imperial porcelain bowl featuring the rare and detailed "Firbolgs IV" scene from the Fairyland Lustre line, designed by Daisy Makeig-Jones. The exterior is executed in a rich red ground beneath a ruby lustre glaze, showcasing an intricate gold-overlaid design populated with stylized Firbolgs - mythical, impish figures known for their comically distressed expressions and large saucer-like eyes. These fantastical creatures are shown interacting amid golden pine-like trees and flowering branches, their movements animated and expressive across the curved surface. The interior is finished in a pearlescent mother-of-pearl lustre, showing subtle iridescence and faint staining consistent with age. The bowl is trimmed with gilt along the rim and base, which includes further decorative motifs. The underside bears the Wedgwood Portland Vase mark.
