Foliage Field Tiles

De Morgan Nine-Square Bough

William De Morgan Nine-Square Bough, available in 6 inch and 8 inch

This is William De Morgan's 'Version B', an adaptation of William Morris's 'Bough' design. The diagonal branch with leaves and fruit was used William Morris in the 'Fruit' wallpaper design.

Because the design does not cover the entire tile, natural variations in the marble will show through. These will vary from tile to tile. See some base tiles.

Size: 6 inch (ceramic and thumbled) and 8 inch (ceramic only) square tiles

De Morgan Single Boughs

William De Morgan Nine-Square Bough singles, available in 4.25 and 6 inch

Single tiles of De Morgan's Version B are available on both tumbled and ceramic tile.

Full Bough Field Tiles

William Morris, William De Morgan Early Blue Longden

I have two variations of De Morgan full boughs tiles. The full-bough tiles are often used as field tiles, but they work just as well as art or statement tiles. They are a good field tile choice for the De Morgan ships and galleons and the De Morgan Fantastic Birds and Animal tiles
