IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 15320 accession number: EC.6-1941 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Wednesday 15 July 2020 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Large buff earthenware tile, moulded in relief, partly slip-coated, glazed and painted in ruby lustre. A leaping fantasy beast faces right; five feathers or horns rise from its head, like a crown. Above left is a palm-like tree, with other stylised foliage filling spaces across the surface. The whole surface is glazed and most is painted with ruby lustre; but parts of the raised surface have been left unpainted, giving buff highlights to the tree and crown and accentuating the modelling of the beast, and the raised surface has been further decorated with a darker tone of ruby lustre. There are some white glaze drips on the top and left sides, otherwise the sides and reverse are unglazed. title: tile LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Applied Arts creditline: Given by Mr H C Mossop, 1941 STABLE URL ---------- url: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/15320 SUBJECTS ------------------- beast beast CATEGORIES ------ category: earthenware category: lustreware category: Art Pottery DATING ------ creation date: 1888 - 1897 creation date earliest: 1888 creation date latest: 1897 culture: 19th Century, Late# culture: Victorian CREATORS -------- maker: William De Morgan & Co. maker: Ricardo, Halsey DIMENSIONS ---------- dimension: Depth units: cm value: 1 dimension: Depth units: in value: 0.375 dimension: Sides units: cm value: 22.8 dimension: Sides units: in value: 9 CITATIONS -------- William De Morgan William De Morgan Tiles The Ceramics of William De Morgan The Designs of William De Morgan William De Morgan (1839-1917): an exhibition organised by the Friends of Leighton House, Leighton House, 18 May-24 June, London: De Morgan Foundation, 197 --- IMAGES surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/aa/aa12/EC_6_1941.jpg height: 740 pixels width: 570 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/aa/aa12/mid_EC_6_1941.jpg height: 649 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/aa/aa12/EC_6_1941.jpg height: 740 pixels width: 570 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/aa/aa12/preview_EC_6_1941.jpg height: 325 pixels width: 250 pixels
