The Blue Willow pattern was introduced over two hundred years ago, first manufactured by Josiah Spode. The pattern features a willow tree, two birds, a fence in the foreground, a tea house, a boat, a bridge with three figures, a border of Oriental symbols. The pattern was cluttered and the elements oddly proportioned yet everyone loved it, and within a few years, more than two hundred English potteries were making variations of Blue Willow. The Blue Willow Scene captures a Chinese maiden and her young suitor eloping, and are pursued across a bridge by her irate father. The lovers die tragically but their spirits flutter together forever in the form of two immortal doves.    Great opportunity to own a Booths VINTAGE Blue Willow LARGE Covered Dish..measures about 10 1/2" across & 6" tall  Bowl measures about 9" across..underplatter included !!  3 pieces...All backstamped Silicon China..BOOTHS, Made in England..These older pieces have incised mark as well....Am paring down my collections .......The photos show the deep cobalt blue of this design...the gold gilt is in very good condition...NO chips or nicks...No cracks ..
