6 inch tile with yellow carnation flower, green and turquoise leaves and mulberry coloured birds on a cream ground. These tiles are decorated on “blanks” manufactured by the Architectural Pottery Co. Poole. This pattern which dates from the earliest period of De Morgan’s pottery is one of the most complex repeat patterns that he designed.
The tiles were donated to Mrs Stirling’s collection by Mrs Bullivant in memory of her husband.
