V&A Detail Fox & Crow Window Blue Dining Room IMG_5031
Unmistakably a pot by William De Morgan! At the bottom of the Fox and Crow stained glass window in the Poynter Dining Room. Poynter was Edward Burne-Jones's brother in law. I don't know if Poynter also designed the stained-glass window.

The Poynter Room
The easternmost room (now the Poynter Room) was originally called the Grill Room because it was fitted out to 'broil chops and steaks'. It was designed by Edward Poynter using a scheme centred on blue Dutch tiles, and was furnished with little tables of iron with white marble tops and decorated in a similar style to the great iron stove.
Visitors could come here for breakfast when the Museum opened at 9am, watching the white-hatted cook prepare it on the stove.
