William De Morgan: De Morgan Tiles Borders & Backsplashes On William De Morgan Morris Collaborations
William De Morgan Persian Fish Frieze tiles in brown, blue, and green.
William Freund De Morgan met William Morris in 1863. He was 24. They shared a love of medieval themes and fairy tales, and the natural world. He began his crafts work by designing stained glass for Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co, where he worked until 1872. His florals show Morris's influence but his fantastic creatures and fish reflect his many collaborations with Edward Burne-Jones.
De Morgan made these fish in his "Persian" color palette. The blue is a Persian blue. These fish are available in two variations: symmetrical and seamless. The symmetrical fish panels with reversed panels is shown below. The seamless verision, shown above, allows an infinite repeat without reversing.
