English Arts & Crafts Peacock Tile in the Manner of William De Morgan

About the Item

A late 19th / early 20th century arts and crafts peacock tile in the manner of 19th century English potter and tile designer, William De Morgan (1839-1917). Though this 6-inch tile is unmarked, it can be safely attributed to Carter & Co. Poole Pottery (1900-25) as the same design has been found on marked Carter & Co. tiles. This tube-lined antique tile details a peacock bird, decorated with a brilliant range of varying blue, green and yellow enamel glazes to create bold and vibrant colours. It’s eye-catching design, inspired by similar peacock tiles made by William De Morgan, makes this arts and crafts tile an excellent stand-alone piece, perfect for a collector’s cabinet or decorative interior display. CARTER & CO. Carter Tiles, later Carter & Co, was founded in 1873 by Jesse Carter, a builder’s merchant and ironmonger from Surrey, who bought James Walker’s brick and tile business on the East Quay at Poole. By the 1880s, Carters was competing with other manufacturers on a national level, before expanding in 1895. In the early 20th century, the demand for decorative ceramics grew and Carter & Co. Poole Pottery went on to supply beautiful tiles to breweries, pubs, hospitals, schools, retailers, municipal authorities and many others all around the UK.

Set of 4 English Arts & Crafts Glazed Floral Tiles
By Lewis Foreman Day, Pilkington's Royal Lancastrian Pottery Company
Located in Wormelow, Herefordshire
Four 6-inch English arts and crafts era glazed floral tiles, circa 1900, attributed to Lewis Foreman Day for Pilkington’s Tile and Pottery Co. It is well-known that while not all Pilkington's tile were signed, initial designs were marked with a single letter 'P' to the reverse. From around 1900 onwards, this was later adapted to be a pair of letter 'P's, impressed on opposite sides of the tile with a 5 bar back. 19th century architect and decorative designer, Lewis Foreman Day (1845-1910), was artistic consultant for Pilkington’s as one of the leading designers of the arts and crafts movement. Several of his pottery works can be found in The British Museum and the V&A, including this tile of a similar design made for Pilkington’s at Clifton Junction dating to around 1900. Each decorated with a stylised red glazed flower among green leaves and vines on a rich dark blue backdrop, these four tiles together create a 62 cm square (24.5 inch) decorative panel, making a beautiful floral artwork piece for the walls of an interior. Alternatively, these antique English tiles...
