Description: | Two square earthenware tiles, probably dust-pressed. They have been decorated with hand-painted copper lustre, one with a quartered 'rose and scroll' design similar to those used in 'Persian' colour ware; the other with a flower amid scrolling foliage. The latter tile has an imperfect finish, suggesting that it was probably an experimental tile used as part of De Morgan's attempts to perfect the lustre technique. It is virtually certain that the tiles themselves are glazed commercial blanks decorated by De Morgan.
