Description
This is a Cereal/Soup Bowl made by Booths in real Old Willow pattern.
The Willow pattern is a distinctive and elaborate chinoiserie pattern used on ceramic kitchen/housewares.
It became popular at the end of the 18th century in England when, in its standard form, it was developed by English ceramic artists combining and adapting motifs inspired by fashionable hand-painted blue-and-white wares imported from China.
The bowl is properly marked with Booths back stamp.
The bowl is 6 1/4" in diameter and 1 5/8" deep.
The bowl is in good used vintage condition with no cracks.
It could have some minimal has crazing, if any. There is some wear on the gold - please refer to the pictures or ask questions.
Actual color may differ from the photo due to lighting conditions
Just imagine your special table set with these beautiful pieces. A party makes an elegant statement when set with antique porcelain.
Long ago, in the days when China was ruled by emperors, a Chinese mandarin, Tso Ling, lived in the magnificent pagoda under the branches of the apple tree on the right of the bridge, over which droops the famous willow tree, and in front of which is seen the graceful lines of the fence.
Tso Ling was the father of a beautiful girl, Kwang-se, who was the promised bride of an old but wealthy merchant. The girl, however, fell in love with Chang, her father's clerk. The lovers eloped across the sea to the cottage on the island. The mandarin pursued and caught the lovers and was about to have them killed when the gods transformed them into a pair of turtle doves.
These are the doves seen gazing into each other's eyes at the top of the design on the plates. Blue Willow China, in its present form originated in the United Kingdom (England) in 1790 by Thomas Turner at Caughley Pottery Works in Shropshire.
A lengthy and old Staffordshire poem of the pattern concludes with the verse:
"In the oft quoted plate two birds are perceived,
High in the heaven above:
These are the spirits of Chang and Kwang-se,
A twin pair of ever in love".
