  Do you know the story behind the Willow-pattern ware?  Well, as the story goes, it originated in Staffordshire, England, c.1780. Thomas Minton, then an apprentice potter, developed and engraved the design, presumably after an old Chinese legend. It portrays the garden of a rich mandarin whose young daughter elopes with his secretary. The lovers were overtaken on the bridge by her father and were transformed by the gods into birds and flutter beyond his reach.  This Blue Willow made in England, is a 9" dinner plate and is in great shape for it's age.  It does show some age coloring on the back side but the front looks great.  It has a casting stamp in the back but I can't read it.  The seal is the earlier style with the olive branches on each side of an anchor with initals.  The colbalt blue is outstanding.  No cracks or chips but some crazing.  Only $19
