William de Morgan (1839-1917) was Britain's
most talented pottery and tile designer. A life-long friend
of William Morris, he designed tiles, stained glass and
furniture for Morris & Co.from 1863-1872. His tiles
are often based on medieval designs or Persian patterns,
and he experimented with innovative glazes and firing
techniques. Galleons, ships and fish were popular motifs, as
were "fantastical" birds and other animals.
Many of de Morgan's tile designs were planned to create
intricate patterns when several tiles were laid together.
All tiles have a high-gloss finish which is not plainly
visible in the images below.
