Merton Abbey

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.

Victorian Ceramics produces a large range of tiles, based on the original designs of William De Morgan. Please select from below:

Designed prior to 1888 these De Morgan animal designs often include grotesque or comic elements. They are painted on an aged speckled engobe background coating before being hand coated with a deep crackled glaze. The painting, engobe and overglaze react together during firing to bring each creature uniquely to life.

Priced from £26.95 + VAT each, these tiles are 6″ x 6″ (152mm x 152mm) x 8mm thick. Ideal for general wall use or as fireplace tiles. Available in blue, green or sepia.
