Dawn, your post reminded me of my favorite, Wedgwood Fairyland Lustre, manufactured from 1915 until 1931. i fell in love the instant i saw it on Antiques Roadshow a few years ago.

Unfortunately, i will only ever own any of it if i win the lottery or am gifted it by someone.



The appraisal can be seen and/or read on the PBS website here

Here's a small excerpt from it:

"...Fairyland Lustreware is among the most valuable of all Wedgwood from any period. It was all designed by a remarkable lady by the name of Daisy Makeig-Jones."
"...we felt this table would be for all of the pieces, with this one being the most valuable {rav says: the bowl in the center}. If it {the 8 pieces on the table...she has 17 pieces altogether!} came to auction, the low estimate would be about $25,000 and the high estimate would probably be $35,000."
