Blue Willow
Pagoda-patterned dishes
Blue Willow is a distinctive pattern on china featuring a blue-and-white scene with a willow tree, pagoda, bridge, and birds—depicting a Chinese landscape in European interpretation.
The pattern originated in 18th-century England and became one of the most widely produced ceramic designs: Grandma's Blue Willow plates came out every Sunday.
Also called willow pattern.
