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.

(probably) designer reference agent-153881 adlib-agent-153881 81fa3050-26eb-3c8b-a3bd-21e9130c15d3 Ricardo, Halsey 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. This design dates from 1888-1898, when he worked in partnership with the architect Halsey Ricardo, at Sands End Fulham. Ricardo (1854-1928) was particularly interested in the use of glazed materials on buildings, to resist the pollution of 19th century London. He made a number of designs for tiles and tile panels made by De Morgan, including several which were moulded in high relief, probably including this design (sometimes produced in gold lustre or ruby lustre on white ground and/or facing left). As the tile is large and has no horizontal or vertical repeat, it may have been made for display in a frame. Some 820 De Morgan tile designs, including a few by Ricardo, are in the V&A collection. 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-coloured reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Depth cm 1 Depth in 0.375 Sides cm 22.8 Sides in 9 reference media-12456 adlib-media-12456 659ed11b-d86e-3572-a1dc-b10314c43513 jpeg aa/aa12/EC_6_1941.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616257993908 1 image jpeg aa/aa12/mid_EC_6_1941.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1616257993908 1 image jpeg aa/aa12/EC_6_1941.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1616257993908 1 image jpeg aa/aa12/preview_EC_6_1941.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1616257993908 1 image 0 media image reference term-30982 adlib-term-30982 952a2227-ce0e-31a3-a0d9-40085991be5b tile 1 reference object-15315 adlib-object-15315 2cde2a97-96ef-34ce-bbdb-67b45ca6a42e
