The dragon is covered in green scales; it has a long, curling yellow tongue, sharp red teeth and a large, yellow and blue, beady eye. Its head is turned back, such that the design fills the square surface; the background is covered with stylised, scrolling foliage. Three sides of the tile have been smoothed, and none of the sides is glazed. reference exhibition-1735 adlib-exhibition-1735 80ecac43-8dc7-3eae-b5d2-2a8f0ffca37e The Designs of William De Morgan C.144-1933 1 accession number C.144-1933 72008 priref 72008 uri https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/72008 https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/72008 reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Bequeathed by Guy Le Strange reference agent-153874 adlib-agent-153874 9943ff19-d7a6-3167-9659-212210afbc3d Le Strange, Guy 1933 1933 1933 bequeathed Entry date: 1933 1872 1872 CE 1872 circa 1872 1881 (date of design; tile may be later, perhaps c.1890) 1 1881 CE 1881 1881 maker reference agent-153880 adlib-agent-153880 44b43624-6544-3415-890a-4a89c4a1a170 William De Morgan & Co. designer reference agent-34602 adlib-agent-34602 7d602658-e69d-374c-bb70-7a06b575ac7b De Morgan, William Frend production reference agent-34602 adlib-agent-34602 7d602658-e69d-374c-bb70-7a06b575ac7b De Morgan, William Frend 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. The original design for this tile is held in the V&A collection (V. & A. E.613-1917, Box C.144); it has no foliage in the background and is inscribed 'Chelsea' on the back, indicating it dates from 1872-81, when De Morgan was based at Cheyne Row, Chelsea. However, it is possible the tile was made later, as most of his known relief tiles were made at Sands End, Fulham, in partnership with the architect Halsey Ricardo, from 1888-97. De Morgan made many, many designs for tiles and tile panels – some 820 are in the V&A collection. reference term-108070 adlib-term-108070 7e278258-23e3-3d5b-a4ff-ab5ecacb4bf3 19th Century, Late reference term-106998 adlib-term-106998 e3be6de7-1089-333e-a2e9-d7165b18816d literal England England country Chelsea 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 15.25 Height in 6 Width cm 15.25 reference media-36294 adlib-media-36294 83513c25-5cc4-32d1-8fdf-82c910021c2e jpeg aa/aa19/C_144_1933_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 743 1702926690688 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/mid_C_144_1933_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 511 width pixels 500 1702926690688 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/C_144_1933_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 743 1702926690688 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/preview_C_144_1933_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 256 width pixels 250 1702926690688 1 image 0 media image reference media-840389340 portfolio portfolio-media-840389340 a62789c8-fb51-3e04-87a9-dad01d3a7839 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/426/350/large_C_144_1933_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1015 width pixels 1024 1529191834000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/426/350/mid_C_144_1933_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 496 width pixels 500 1529191834000 1 image C.144-1933_mas.tif 1529191834000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/426/350/preview_C_144_1933_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 248 width pixels 250 1529191834000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/426/350/C_144_1933_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 4500 width pixels 4539 1529191834000 1 image 1 media image reference media-182060439 portfolio portfolio-media-182060439 0651ff43-7bfc-3639-a184-2787f23407a3 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/623/752/large_C_144_1933_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 1020 width pixels 1024 1550047261000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/623/752/mid_C_144_1933_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 498 width pixels 500 1550047261000 1 image C.144-1933_dc1.jpg 1550047261000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/623/752/preview_C_144_1933_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 249 width pixels 250 1550047261000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/623/752/C_144_1933_dc1.ptif 1 height pixels 4312 width pixels 4328 1550047261000 1 image 2 media image reference media-4186210267 portfolio portfolio-media-4186210267 fca26c86-6e29-3f72-8719-f1a4b548ec71 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/1/38/404/large_C_144_1933_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1015 width pixels 1024 1695944927000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/1/38/404/mid_C_144_1933_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 496 width pixels 500 1695944927000 1 image C.144-1933_mas.tif 1695944927000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/1/38/404/preview_C_144_1933_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 248 width pixels 250 1695944927000 1 image 3 media image reference term-30982 adlib-term-30982 952a2227-ce0e-31a3-a0d9-40085991be5b tile history note Bequeathed by Guy Le Strange 1 reference object-15315 adlib-object-15315 2cde2a97-96ef-34ce-bbdb-67b45ca6a42e
