Antelope on Scrolls Background

William De Morgan: Merton Abbey

William De Morgan Animals on antique speckled white background. Available in blue, green or sepia.

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.

£29.95 + VAT each, these tiles are 6" x 6" (152mm x 152mm) x 8mm thick. Ideal for general wall use or as fireplace tiles.
