About
The story of the ‘Willow Pattern Plate’ is well known: two lovers meeting underneath an orange tree, an elopement, a fierce father and jilted suitor, a pursuit across a bridge into a little boat, tragedy and death: two lovebirds flying together forever under the gentle sway of the willow tree. From the early 19th Century this well-known design has been on thousands of English teapots, plates and dishes. Is it Chinese? Is it English? The story behind this famous image takes us from the origins of blue and white designs in the exotic East to the emerging wealth of the Midlands pottery towns.
