Are Wedgwood Fairyland Lustre pieces “porcelain,” or are they another kind of ceramic?

Wedgwood “Fairyland Lustre” describes the lustre decoration style more than one single clay body. Sources on Daisy Makeig-Jones focus on the on-glaze lustre process and the period of introduction, rather than stating one body type for every item. In practice, Fairyland items appear in forms like bowls, vases, and plaques, and collectors judge the body by weight, translucency at thin edges, and the base finish. If you are hunting true porcelain, test translucency at the rim with a strong light and compare it to a known bone china cup. A thick, opaque feel can point toward earthenware or stoneware under lustre. The base stamp is your best clue, paired with a seller who will show multiple photos. Treat a one-photo listing as high risk, since lustre hides hairlines and repairs under reflective glaze.
