Overview

What could be better than crafting our own love stories based upon a blue and white dish? Blue Willow tea ware, china cabinets filled with Blue Willow, poetry, theatrical plays, children's play sets, fabrics and accessories, games and more - derived from inspiration by Chinese art and customs. What a legacy!Nearly 250 years have passed since the design and manufacture of one of the world's most popular and humble china pattern - Legends of Blue Willow. Envisioned as a marketing message, the Blue Willow story blossomed beyond what the manufacturers ever imagined.This book briefly introduces you to the potter, designer and background of the commercial aspect of Blue Willow and relates the most popular of the Blue Willow legends.From the busy world of pottery, we are captivated by legends that arose from speculation centered around a willow tree, a powerful mandarin, his exceptionally beautiful daughter, an elderly but wealthy duke and the mandarin's daughter's heart choice, a brilliant but lowly accounting secretary.Make your favorite cup of tea (in Blue Willow of course) and enjoy the imaginative tales of Blue Willow china.
