wall tile
William Frend de Morgan 1839 - 1917
Summary
Three square plastic-bodied earthenware tiles, coated with white slip and decorated with hand-transferred underglaze 'Persian' colours: purple, pink, green, turquoise and black. The design consists of two carnation-like flowers in pink and two shades of mauve/purple, in opposite corners. The flower bases are turquoise. The rest of the space is occupied by green foliage and four mauve/purple buds. The design is the same as that of 1941.13/7 but in a different colourway.
