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 Persian and Iznik pottery and using them for a range of complex fantasy designs featuring ships, birds, flora and animals. De Morgan was based at Merton Abbey (next door to Morris’s factory) from 1882-8. reference term-108070 adlib-term-108070 7e278258-23e3-3d5b-a4ff-ab5ecacb4bf3 19th Century, Late reference term-120127 adlib-term-120127 ee2ddbd4-503c-30f5-8cf9-3c2d121bd315 Victoria I reference term-113701 adlib-term-113701 8db296e9-79cd-3284-980f-bb4b0ed570c1 literal England England country Merton Abbey reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Height cm 26 Width cm 16.5 reference term-107528 adlib-term-107528 faebcb95-d112-3092-a108-6ef52422726c two-handled vase vase reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference publication-1512 adlib-publication-1512 723fec87-f251-39db-a24a-383ba68c3d51 The Designs of William De Morgan reference publication-1513 adlib-publication-1513 7388bc5a-bb83-3835-a489-5c4aa4dc9b88 William De Morgan Tiles reference publication-1511 adlib-publication-1511 dc57bb55-658d-3890-840f-f0d5036c88ef William De Morgan reference term-12611 adlib-term-12611 834b65f7-cfad-3dec-bca8-253a9e8b4281 Arts and Crafts (movement)
