William De Morgan
William de Morgan is known for the decorative pottery that he produced in his London factories in Chelsea and at Merton Abbey in the 1870 and ‘80s. This was a mixture of three-dimensional hollow-wares, large dishes or chargers, and decorative tiles and tile panels.
Much of de Morgan's work was inspired by middle eastern, especially Isnik, pottery in its use of pattern, palette and lustre glazes. Other pieces have a more arts and crafts feel. Several highly skilled artist/ decorators interpreted de Morgan’s designs at the factory among them Charles and Fred Passenger.
