[48180] Preston : Harris Museum & Art Gallery - De Morgan Tile

Harris Museum & Art Gallery, Preston, Lancashire.

Tile - designed by William De Morgan (1839-1917).

 

William De Morgan became part of William Morris' circle in the early 1860s and, under Morris' influence, turned his attention to ceramics. He established his first pottery in Chelsea in 1871, subsequently moving to Merton and Fulham and developing the lustre glazes for which his pottery is famous. In his sixties, De Morgan embarked on a second career as a novelist, publishing his highly successful Joseph Vance in 1906.
