William De Morgan (designer), Architectural Pottery Company (maker), (decorator)

Square tiles of pressed earthenware with slip and painted decoration designed by William De Morgan. He first started producing designs for tiles around 1870. These tiles have a Persian design, known as Mongolian, which decorates a pair of tiles, placed one above the other, creating a sense of movement upwards through a decorative curving band. These tiles were used at Fauconberg House, Cheltenham, which was bought by the Cheltenham Ladies College in 1870.
