Argus Pheasant Bowl

Lustreware footed bowl, in bone china. An attractive shape; decorated with the striking Argus pheasant pattern. A quintessentially art deco example of Daisy Makeig-Jones' work.

The pattern features decorative depictions of the Argus pheasant, a bird known for its striking plumage and elaborate patterns on its feathers, which makes it a fitting subject for Wedgwood's artistic ceramic pieces. The bird is shown in flight amongst foliage on the sides, and male and female birds stand in the bottom of the bowl.

This pattern embodies a sense of refinement, blending intricate avian motifs with traditional and strong Art deco design elements.
