This artwork by William de Morgan achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in March 2009. In the The Sunday Sale - Property of the Late Monty Lewis, removed from Hyver Manor & Property of the Late Dr. William Lindsaygordon auction, the work A Pair of Ceramic Tiles, 1872-1881 sold for GBP 3,250.00 (€ 3,504.64) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00.
