Important Wedgwood – The Collection of Betty Issod

A lifelong passion for Wedgwood began for Betty Issod in the early 1950s, after her introduction to English ceramics by her dearest friend, Muriel Polikoff, a well-known dealer from Philadelphia. Muriel introduced Betty to the Buten Museum of Wedgwood in Merion, PA. It was at the Museum, where she first glimpsed a Fairyland Luster vase by designer Daisy Makeig Jones that changed the course of Betty’s life. Immediately entranced by the artistry, quality and magic of Fairyland Luster, Betty began to study in and learn everything she could about these elusive works of art. The fairies had cast their spell, and Betty’s life was forever changed.
