Legend Of Blue Willow
My great aunt left us (my sister
and I) several boxes of china in the
Blue Willow pattern. 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

first being deeply engraved on a
copper plate, then with the aid of
metallic inks, were ground in oil
and printed on strong tissue. 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
