Description: In 1905, England's Royal Doulton ceramic company introduced their Isaac Walton series of soft paste porcelain items decorated with images and verses from Izaak Walton's 1653 book, "The Compleat Angler", a treatise on rural England and the pleasures of country life. Together with other Campbell decorative arts, these provide a sense of Grace Campbell's tastes.
