William Morris and Co.: Membland Tile Panel
Membland was the only floral panel design produced on such a large scale. William Morris designed it on commission to decorate Membland Hall in Devon by architect George Devey. Six of an unknown number of panels survive. It consists of 66 tiles (60 six-inch tiles, and 6 3x6 inch tiles) and stands 5 ft. 3 inches tall and three feet wide. It was intended for the bathroom at Membland Hall.
Designed by William Morris, the panels were produced by William De Morgan. The first set was hand painted on on earthware blanks. De Morgan used his own Fulham Pottery tiles for at least one panel, but also used locally-made blanks for others. Morris himself was unhappy with the quality of locally-made blanks and used imported blanks. See More about Morris and Co.'s tile making process.

I am still working on the base design for these tiles and will be for several months. I am also working on a horizontal version with the squared off top row in a smaller tile (4.25) which would be suitable for a backsplash.
