William de Morgan, British, (1839-1917) was a potter and tile designer, involved in the Arts & Crafts movement. A life-long friend of William Morris he designed tiles, stained glass and furniture for Morris & Co. from 1863 to 1872. His tiles are often based on medieval designs or Persian patterns, and he experimented with innovative glazes and firing techniques. Fish, fantastical birds, and images from medieval manuscripts were popular motifs. I have interpreted some of his two dimensional fish designs in relief tiles shown here. I have also interpreted one of his fantastical bird designs as a dragon in relief, which can be seen on the Myth and King Arthur tile page. See also my rabbit tile, based on one of his designs on the Animal page.

Maurice Pillard Verneuil (1869 - 1942) was a French Designer who created a number of animal and floral motifs in the Art Nouveau style. I have interpreted some his fish designs in relief. You may also see my interpretation of one of his bird designs on the Bird page in this site.
