Many of De Morgan's drawings are based around repeating patterns that conjoin to create a larger, continuous design. 4 Square and 9 Square formats on a single tile are common in addition to the multiple tile panels of linking florals and trellis.
Replicated in traditional Victorian Cobalt and subtle Pure White, in-line with today's preference for simple, natural shades, 9 Square offers complete freedom for horizontal and vertical borders, panels, the checkerboard pattern illustrated and all-over effects, adapting to suit all tastes.
Using carefully balanced glazes and by firing at higher temperatures. the over-glaze sinks into the recesses of the design to give 9 Square its characteristically textured face.
