William Frend De Morgan (1839-1917), now widely regarded as the most important ceramicist of the Arts & Crafts movement, also worked in stained glass, became a successful novelist and, in 1887, married the Pre-Raphaelite painter Evelyn Pickering (1855-1919). 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 Chelsea from 1872 and Merton Abbey (next door to Morris’s factory) from 1882-8. ‘BBB’was designed for the Norwich fireplace manufacturer Barnard, Bishop and Barnard and advertised alongside cast iron fire surrounds in their catalogue. Two of these tiles were made at Chelsea and the other at Merton Abbey. The design, one of the most popular tile patterns, continued in production until the company closed in 1907. 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-106998 adlib-term-106998 e3be6de7-1089-333e-a2e9-d7165b18816d literal England England country literal London London region Chelsea reference term-113701 adlib-term-113701 8db296e9-79cd-3284-980f-bb4b0ed570c1 literal England England country literal Surrey Surrey region Merton Abbey reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware reference term-30982 adlib-term-30982 952a2227-ce0e-31a3-a0d9-40085991be5b tile history note Lent by Rita Smythe 1 reference object-238716 adlib-object-238716 546e47a3-4c6b-3a88-b8d6-39d3a518faad
