A delightful leaf from a sketch album of China (porcelain) designs by Ellen Theophila Simpson, circa 1888. E T Simpson was known as a porcelain designer and the drawings on this leaf come from an album of designs for porcelain. It is wonderfully fresh given that it is almost 150 years old. This is the hand of a very talented watercolour artist and designer. Please note that shipping costs are not solely the cost of the postal delivery service itself.
