willowware
Oriental pattern ceramics
Willowware is blue-and-white pottery decorated with a Chinese-inspired pattern featuring pagodas, willow trees, and a bridge.
The design, developed in 18th-century England, became so popular that willowware now refers to any ceramics using this distinctive motif: She collected antique willowware from estate sales.
