Tiles were a popular and financially important aspect of Morris and Co.’s early output and were often influenced by medieval and Renaissance sources. Despite Morris’s belief that works of art should, as far as possible, be designed and executed by a single craftsperson, the tiles created by Morris & Co. were part of a more complex chain of production: blank tiles were purchased from the Netherlands and were then painted by members of Morris's workshop (including regularly by sisters Lucy and Kate Faulkner) to designs by Morris, Burne-Jones and others. This depiction of Alceste is one of a series of designs based on 'Legend of Goode Wimmen' and is typical of Burne-Jones's use of combining ceramic tiles in the creation of pictorial decoration. We worked with The William Morris Gallery in the development and production of this tile . We are now reducing the range of tiles we make to allow more time for the development and making of our own ceramic work. Limited quantity available Hello, We make the tiles for you in our studio in South East London. We have worked with many Museums and Historic sites including William Morris Gallery, Kelmscott Manor. Our commissions also included the replacement fireplace tiles in Brasenose College in Oxford. We have won the best tile launched on to the UK market for a design, awarded by the Tile Association UK. We are available for individual commissions, all types of hand made tiles. We are currently updating what we have available so will be adding some hand made individual panels and other hand made ceramic works soon. The tiles we sell, we make and fire them in a kiln in our studio. We are unable to offer the vast range of tiles offered by other companies using sublimation printing onto purchased kiln fired tiles. We only use traditional ceramic techniques so when we use printing the image is made from on-glaze ceramic colour, not ink. The tiles are fired in a kiln and during this process the image melts into the glaze making the tile permanent and pure ceramic. The tiles are suitable for all applications Walls , Open Fires, Wood Burners . We do offer visits to our studio by appointment we are based in South East London Any further questions email and we will get back to you . Type: Art Tile
