Supplied in branded ribbon gift box About the Artwork Spiritualists such as De Morgan’s mother, Sophia, associated peacocks with immortality due to the all-seeing eyes in their tails. In this Fantastic Peacock Dish (c.1888-1907), De Morgan created an arrangement of peacock heads and foliate decoration. This invites us to look beyond the peacock as an earthly creature and focus on its symbolic meaning. The reverse of this plate is decorated in simple concentric circles, a stark contrast to the front. De Morgan employed various techniques in the production of his ceramics.
