The coarse earthenware and rough sides indicate that the tile was intended for a fireplace or other architectural use. The flowing naturalism suggests it is an early design, perhaps influenced by Morris’s work; De Morgan’s later tile designs were more stylised and symmetrical. He made many, many designs for tiles and tile panels – some 820, including this one, are in the V&A collection – and transferred them using his own innovative transfer method which allowed repeats to be made whilst preserving a ‘hand-made’ quality. William Frend De Morgan (1839-1917), now widely regarded as the most important ceramicist of the Arts & Crafts movement, also worked in stained glass and became a successful novelist. The son of a non-conformist mathematics professor, he became a close friend of William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones and married the Pre-Raphaelite painter Evelyn Pickering (1855-1919), in 1887. As a ceramicist, De Morgan was primarily a designer/decorator and chemist, working on bought-in blanks or pots thrown to his design. He experimented widely with techniques and glazes, re-discovering methods for making and applying lustres and the colours of Iznik and Persian pottery and using them for a range of complex fantasy designs featuring ships, birds, flora and animals. reference term-108070 adlib-term-108070 7e278258-23e3-3d5b-a4ff-ab5ecacb4bf3 19th Century, Late reference term-113701 adlib-term-113701 8db296e9-79cd-3284-980f-bb4b0ed570c1 literal England England country Merton Abbey buff-coloured reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Height cm 20.3 Height in 8 Width cm 20.1 Width in 8 reference media-12458 adlib-media-12458 67c5b9d7-c313-3187-9cd1-dc168b5085fd jpeg aa/aa12/EC_8_1941.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1616258423549 1 image jpeg aa/aa12/mid_EC_8_1941.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1616258423549 1 image jpeg aa/aa12/EC_8_1941.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1616258423549 1 image jpeg aa/aa12/preview_EC_8_1941.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1616258423549 1 image 0 media image reference term-30982 adlib-term-30982 952a2227-ce0e-31a3-a0d9-40085991be5b tile history note Given by Mr H.C.Mossop, 1941 1 same design reference object-15325 adlib-object-15325 cfdee8e6-971c-32ef-9877-d60ae4cc40ce
