William De Morgan (1839-1917) was one of the most famous designers of tiles from the Arts and Crafts Movement, of which he was a founder member. His distinctive style and deep, intense glazes are instantly recognisable.

William De Morgan Animals (with background)
Whereas De Morgan’s flowery images are reminiscent of William Morris’s floral designs the animal designs are distinctly his own. They are partly drawn from his detailed knowledge of medieval illustrated manuscripts and partly from his vivid imagination. These fantastic imaginary creatures are outlined onto an engobe and decorated using individual brush strokes before being bathed in an overglaze giving character and life.
