Can you tell us anything about such pieces in this pattern, and how we can find out their value? Vivian Carson, Decatur, 111. The willow pattern is one of the most popular and beloved decora tive designs ever to grace table china. It pictures a Chinese land scape with exotic gardens, pago das, a pair of mystical birds, and three quaint figures on an oriental bridge arched over a waterway. A wind-swept willow tree, among other fruit-laden trees, and a Chi nese gondolier poling a boat may complete the picture, although the English pottery houses that pro duced the willow pattern showed variations in the design. The earlier pieces can be recog nized by the figures on the bridge, and an inner decorative border as well as an outer one on the plates. Later 19th century examples usually show no figures, and the plates do not have the inner bor der. Then too, the early china was always heavier then the later ware, and the design was always blue. Later examples were pro duced in other colors as well. The design was put on the china by a process called “trans fer printing,” with the pattern ANTIQUE AUCTION Jennie Rittner Beale Estate Sat., June 21, 2003 - 9:00 a.m. Auction located at 601 Main Street, Port Royal, Juniata County, PA - just off Route 322 midway between Harrisburg and State College at the Port Royal (Route 75) exit.

This tissue, in turn, was applied to the earthenware in a wet state, thus transferring the decoration to the china. If you look closely at the borders on these old plates and platters, you often can see where the pattern was cut off by the im pression of the inked tissues in sections on the china, which adds to its charm. However, aside from its beauty, the most charming thing about the Blue Willow pat tern is its bittersweet legend, transferred below. The Legend of the Blue Willow Once upon a time there was a rich mandarin who lived in a large, splendid house with his only daugh ter, Koong-se. One day the manda rin decided to retire from business, so he brought his secretary, Chang, to his home to put his accounts in order. Upon meeting, Chang and Koong-se fell hopelessly in love. This angered the mandarin, and the couple was forced to meet in secret, with the help of Koong-se’s maid. When the mandarin learned of their rendezvous, he built a high wall of Jennie Rittner Beale Estate Laura Beale Toy, Owner 601 Main St, Port Royal, PA 17082 215-877-4775 Tent if inclement weather Terms: Cash or good PA check (Turn to Page 826)
