Transferware Treasures: Watercolours by Emily Sutton

Emily has made a series of watercolours of the transferware pottery – plates, mugs and jugs – found on her dresser. They are a charming set, full of the quaint and fascinating subjects which the Victorians felt appropriate, mostly for the moral benefit of their children.

Fleece Press published these together in a very long accordion-fold book measuring 275mm square and extending to a gigantic 8 metres long. They are hard-bound in a design using the watercolours, and held in a slipcase with a label.

Emily has drawn a title page specially for the book, and has signed each of the 250 copies.
