Artworks De Morgan Peacock Border 2-Tile Set on Brilliant White

William De Morgan (1839-1917) was one of the foremost English tile designers of the late Victorian and Edwardian period. Although trained as an artist, De Morgan also inherited a love of science from his father and became an expert on the chemistry of ceramic glazes. Through painstaking research he achieved distinctive, lustrous colours to complement his lively designs, many of which were inspired by Persian art, including the Peacock border featured here.
