Vintage Picture Plate – I Prefer to Call Myself Delicately Difficult

£20.00

Difficult?

No, just exquisitely selective.

Featuring a beautifully dressed young lady with an expression that suggests she's heard enough already, this one-of-a-kind vintage picture plate is for anyone who's been called "difficult" simply because they know exactly what they do and don't like.

Every Picture Plate starts with the artwork. I never force a caption onto a piece of vintage china, I simply wait until the right phrase appears. The elegant portrait and quietly unimpressed expression made "I Prefer to Call Myself Delicately Difficult" feel like the only thing she could possibly be thinking.

Whether it takes pride of place in your home or is gifted to someone who wears the label with honour, this decorative plate is guaranteed to raise a smile.
