The weeping willow legend which is represented on tableware, interior designs and more is also known as the Willow pattern. The design varies but the most usual form is as follows: to the right is the country seat of a lordly Chinese Mandarin. The mansion is two stories high and enclosed by a wooden fence. In the foreground is a pavilion, in the background an orange tree and to the right of the pavilion is a peach tree.At one end of a bridge is the famous Willow tree and at the other end is the humble cottage of the gardener. In the upper left-hand corner of the pattern is an island with a cottage on it. Two turtledoves are shown.On the bridge are shown two lovers with a boat; a Mandarin with a whip is near the Willow tree. The legend which these pictures represent is as follows: The Mandarin had only one daughter named Li-Chi, sometimes named Koong-se, Koong-si, or Koong-she, who fell in love with Chang, who had been secretary to Li-Chi's father. One day the Mandarin heard the two young people making vows of eternal love under the orange tree. He severely rebuked them and forbade the unequal match. But the lovers eloped and for a while remained hidden in the gardener's cottage, from which they made their escape in a boat to the island home of Chang.The enraged Mandarin pursued them and would have beaten them to death with a whip, but the gods of old China intervened and rewarded them for their fidelity by changing them into turtledoves. The story is known as the Willow legend because the elopement occurred "when the Willow begins to shed its leaves". This decorative Chinese design is traditionally blue on a white background but is also created in pink, brown, and multi-colored. It was introduced on chinaware in England in the early 1780's at Thomas Turner's porcelain factory in Caughley by Thomas Minton, and the story was later constructed to boost sales of the crockery.Blue Willow has inspired a comic opera, silent movies, children's books, blog posts and Pinterest pins. Blue Willow china versions have been adorned with gold trim for the most discriminating person to, some say, the inspiration for the "Blue Plate Special" at diners. Stories abound.Talented poets who appreciated the Blue Willow pattern story wrote their story versions for those of us, from generations past to today, who love and admire the illustrated love story and the beautiful Blue Willow pattern as tableware, teacups and teapots, drapery, and various textiles

Following the international success of his books Advertising A to Z Featuring The Blue Willow Pattern, Parts 1 & 2, author Hugh Sykes in this new book looks at how the Blue Willow Pattern has been used in some unusual ways. Traditionally the pattern is often thought as just a blue and white pattern on ceramic dinner sets. In this book though you'll see many of the different mediums on which it has been used Many of the items shown in this book are from the past, but many are also from today, thus showing that the Blue Willow Pattern is very much still part of our everyday life. The first books published by Hugh, Advertising A to Z Featuring The Blue Willow Pattern, Parts 1 & 2 have received prestige recognition and are held by the Museum of American History, Smithson Library and university libraries. Hugh is also a regular contributor of magazine articles in the USA and Australia.

The Blue Willow plate pattern, since Thomas Minton's artistic creativity in 1780 and Spode's expansion of the pottery line, has been translated and reimagined into multiple works of art including teaware, dinnerware place settings, fabrics, wallpaper, decorative urns and pitchers and more. Recently, someone shared a Blue Willow pattern puzzle with me.One never knows what story will be created or derived from Grandma's favorite china pattern. Immediately popular in the 18th Century, who knew that it would intrigue people for centuries? Rev. Hilderic Friend, an intellectual, author and missionary in China, wove together the Blue Willow plate story with historical relevance and illustrations. Cultural norms and verbiage change over time but the Blue Willow story continues to captivate readers (and collectors).

The Blue Willow pattern, designed in about 1780 by Thomas Minton, remains a popular china pattern beloved by all ages. One can only imagine what it would be like for your butler (if you have one) to bring your bedtime snacks on a Blue Willow platter and you fill your tummy with too much food, a bit of "imbibe" and try to sleep. Instead of visions of sugar plums, dreams may be filled with a humorous story about three young maidens (Fe, Fi and Fo) and they're charming attempts at capturing the heart of Prince Chimpanzee.From serious to silly, many stories, poems and theatrical productions have been written to capture the Chinese tale expressed by the pattern itself capturing the imagination of stories about the beautiful girl, her wealthy father, and her father's accounting assistant. "A Dish of Gossip off the Willow Pattern" was written in 1867 and published in London, England by Alex. Laidlaw, 3, Bury Court, St. Mary Axe and entered by Stationer's Hall.We refresh and renew the contents, taking liberty with additional footnotes, for your pleasure and humor.
