History

The Blue Willow pattern originated in England in the late 18th century, inspired by Chinese porcelain designs. It became immensely popular during the 19th century and continues to be produced today, featuring a distinctive blue and white color scheme with scenes of gardens, bridges, and pagodas. These saucers are highly valued by collectors of blue and white porcelain and those interested in traditional tableware. The Blue Willow pattern's enduring appeal stems from its romantic backstory of star-crossed lovers and its association with traditional dining culture, making these pieces desirable for both their decorative quality and historical significance.
