This is the first comprehensive survey of the colourful ceramic
tiles produced by Morris & Company. From the earliest examples
made for Red House to the tiles produced in the twentieth century,
all the many different designs are illustrated and discussed in
detail. Richard and Hilary Myers are proud to include a previously
unrecorded tile panel among the many little-known examples
described in this book. Found in a Sussex church, the panel takes
its place with such masterpieces as the overmantel at Queens'
College, Cambridge, and the Membland panels. All Morris & Co.'s
tile designs are analysed and linked to related stained-glass,
textile or graphic work produced by the Firm. The authors reveal
the various contributions of individual designers, including Edward
Burne-Jones, D. G. Rossetti, Ford Madox Brown, Kate Faulkner and
William Morris himself. Morris & Co.'s connections with the
Dutch tileries, William de Morgan, Murray Marks and Barnard, Bishop
& Barnard, and the roles they played in the production and
distribution of the tiles, are all thoroughly examined.
