Charles Passenger and his brother Fred joined the pottery as decorators in 1877 and 1879 respectively. In 1889 they became William De Morgan’s partners, along with Frank Iles (kiln-master from c. 1873). When De Morgan’s pottery closed in 1907, the brothers and Iles set up their own business in Brompton Road, which ran until 1911; and by agreement they continued to use De Morgan’s designs. William 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. He was 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, experimenting 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 reference term-15214 adlib-term-15214 744af2c4-a2f2-37ad-bbf4-2cd00e91ed9b Victorian reference term-108070 adlib-term-108070 7e278258-23e3-3d5b-a4ff-ab5ecacb4bf3 19th Century, Late reference term-106395 adlib-term-106395 7196d3f3-463d-30bd-998b-d51c42ebc1ea Fulham reference term-107611 adlib-term-107611 790e5a19-a186-34d5-a16e-2d8dff9f6247 white earthenware Diameter cm 23 Height cm 3.4 reference term-90855 adlib-term-90855 b48207ec-774d-3e3e-8ab3-536996bc5dac dish history note Lent by Rita Smythe, 2018 1 same decorator reference object-75791 adlib-object-75791 1c660ddd-5f3b-3fcb-bfa8-1e95be5b29d6
