The under-glaze design of eight fantasy ducks or dragon-birds surrounded by stylised leaves, which covers the whole upper surface, has been applied by transfer, with the duck shapes filled with thinly applied blue. The leaves are painted over with lustre, which shows silver-gold or pink as the light changes. Some of the ducks face to the left, and some to the right, resisting any sense of unidirectional movement. The blue has run slightly into the slip. The back and the sides are unglazed.

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-15214 adlib-term-15214 744af2c4-a2f2-37ad-bbf4-2cd00e91ed9b Victorian reference term-106395 adlib-term-106395 7196d3f3-463d-30bd-998b-d51c42ebc1ea literal England England country Fulham buff-red reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Depth cm 1 Depth in 0.375 Sides cm 15.25 Sides in 6 reference media-12459 adlib-media-12459 a425ca1c-4c35-30ba-a19e-2de9822aaead jpeg aa/aa10/EC_9_1941.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1702926361310 1 image jpeg aa/aa10/mid_EC_9_1941.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1702926361310 1 image jpeg aa/aa10/EC_9_1941.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1702926361310 1 image jpeg aa/aa10/preview_EC_9_1941.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1702926361310 1 image 0 media image reference media-12460 adlib-media-12460 3e69813e-29ac-311e-96a8-36ee75cb8977 jpeg aa/aa19/C_9_1941.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 753 1702926511509 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/mid_C_9_1941.jpg 1 height pixels 505 width pixels 500 1702926511509 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/C_9_1941.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 753 1702926511509 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/preview_C_9_1941.jpg 1 height pixels 252 width pixels 250 1702926511509 1 image 1 media image reference term-30982 adlib-term-30982 952a2227-ce0e-31a3-a0d9-40085991be5b tile history note Given by Mr H C Mossop 1 reference object-15315 adlib-object-15315 2cde2a97-96ef-34ce-bbdb-67b45ca6a42e
