William De Morgan Red Lustre Ships

William De Morgan Red Lustre ships

From top left: Four tile expanded 'triptych', galleon with warning horn (lunch bell for sea monsters) and rising sun. Second row: Lead dragon ship with clouds, late galleon, ship with oars extended, Armada flagship with two sail patterns, bird ship with multipattern sails, British warship. Third row: Bird ship with moon and dolphins, Phoenician dragon ship with two dolphins, Chinese Junk, Skiff with wind blowing at its back, Galleon with birds, Ship with rowmaster.

Here are the red lustre version of the De Morgan ships I've done. They work with the traditional tile triptych. However, some fireplaces require an even number of tiles and to accommodate that, I've expanded the triptych to cover four tiles. It is also possible, in theory, to put the expanded triptych on three 6-8 inch tiles. However, the 8x6 blanks are not from the same source as the 6x6's and so far, I haven't been able to match the color on the 8x6s to the 6x6 tiles. If you have your heart set on a triptych on 8x6 tiles, contact me because I may have worked this out by the time you read this.

In addition, the single triptych is available in blue (two variations) and I have 15 single De Morgan ship and galleon tiles blue and white ships.

Available background colors are warm white (a very light cream that looks white until you put a piece of copy paper next to it, and then it doesn't), and rich cream.
