William De Morgan

William De Morgan is an Arts and Crafts movement artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.

William De Morgan made richly colored ceramic plates and tiles in the late 1800s, often painting mythical scenes and intricate floral patterns in deep blues, greens, and ruby reds. His designs sit between Arts and Crafts taste and the bold patterns of the Aesthetic Movement. See the peacock feathers swirling across his Plate from 1890. Slide over to view the same lush palette on a nearby tile panel.
