An excellent decorative piece for collectors of English ceramic history.
William De Morgan
English potter and tile designer, William De Morgan (1839-1917), is often remembered as friend to the world-famous textile designer, William Morris (1834-1896). However, De Morgan himself was one of the most innovative designers of his time, highly regarded for his ornamental painted tiles.
Such was his skill that De Morgan formally trained as a fine artist and went on to earn a place at London’s Royal Academy of Art in 1859.
In the 1860s, he began designing stained glass and furniture before moving to ceramics, opening his firm in Chelsea in 1872. Here, he experimented with firing techniques to create lustre glazes, designing tiles and ceramics for Morris
Co from 1863-1872.
