I'm 68. When I was in the 4th grade, I read a book about a little girl in the 1800's I think who wanted dishes with the Blue Willow pattern. I was intrigued. I have a lot of Blue Willow. My family bought me place settings for my birthday and Christmas until I had a whole set. I have many older pieces that I have bought throughout the years.

My set is made by Royal Doulton and is gold lined. Made in England. So is your version like a generic?

Are the bowls from China blue and white with a bird design any value?

i just finished watching a video about the blue willow design. it is Chinese story about 2 lovers that were not permitted by her father to mary. they escaped over the bridge with daddy not far behind. grabbed a boat and went away together............the WGods changed them to birds to be together. Source to check out - The story of the Willow Pattern. An animated video telling the story of one of the world's most well known ceramics designs. Produced for the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery.

Here is a link to the story behind the Willow Pattern. I teach Chinese children online, and this is an old Chinese story about a girl (KimShee) whose father makes her live in a garden and never lets her leave (guards on the bridge) but she falls in love with Chang, a boy of low birth. They use the lemons on the tree to fool the guards so she can escape and marry Chang. Her father looks and looks for them, so they turn into the two birds at the top of the plate, and fly far away from her father so they can live happily ever after. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZaUfXduf6mZj8k

I was just about to ask what the pinkish country cottage kind was all about but I think I see one in your next thumbnail. I grew up with the blue willow ones but my fiancée and I found them selling "Queen's" brand ones at a local discount shop and we equally liked the country cottage designs. Well that store was about to close down right before Christmas, so I snuck back over there after she went off to work and since we couldnt decide which we liked better I put together a mixed set of his and hers table china with two of each pattern!

I grew up in Dedham, Mass. and I don't know if you're familiar with it, but there is a type of pottery called "Dedham Pottery." It is kindof a cozy folk art crackleware style with a traditional bunny motif. Its sortof a defacto symbol of our town. Reproductions were still being made when I was a kid in the 80s, but not so much anymore. Well last year for Christmas my fiancée knew I liked tgem and it reminded me of my childhood so she went to the Dedham Historical Society and put together a mix-matched set of Dedham Pottery China for me of tge best pieces tgey had from all different eras! So between tge two of us we've got all the china we need! Although I'm in love with tge idea if getting some matching saucers and a teapot too (maybe even a butter trey and gravy boat etc. So who knows, we may not yet be done

@rebekahbasinger29232 жыл бұрын
You can research the price at which your Blue Willow is selling on Ebay or Etsy. There is a market for Blue Willow (Holland Blue Willow, included) if you're willing to put in the time to find customers. Folks who sell vintage aren't a good choice, because they/we won't want to pay the prices you see on Ebay and Etsy.

There is a designer who puts fragments among the rocks around his flowers with broken dishes. I have seen them glued to frames or cones for decor with broken pottery. John Turman or Bill Stubbs decorate differently with blue and white. John does light background. Bill has a dark background.
