Plate c. 1900

This ceramic plate, created by the British artist William De Morgan around 1900, showcases his distinct style inspired by historical tiles. The intricate design depicts a ship sailing on a sea teeming with fish. The ship's detailed rendering, with its oars and sails, highlights De Morgan's meticulous attention to detail. The plate, now held at the Art Institute of Chicago, serves as a testament to De Morgan's unique artistic vision and his mastery of ceramic techniques.
