William De Morgan (1839 – 1917) a friend of William Morris
was a real revolutionary in terms of design but largely self taught in ceramics
and glaze effects. Despite this he quickly established himself as one of the
greatest artist/potters of the period. His work is now highly prized and widely
collected. The vast majority of his work was designing and manufacturing exquisitely
decorated tiles but he also produced richly decorated vases and chargers.
This example is a stunning early Fulham period Sands End (1888 - 1897) six inch tile in the fabulous "BBB" design in a turquoise and mulberry colour way.
