HISTORY OF BLUE WILLOW

I have seen credit given by the Chinese willow pattern at least two different people. Thomas Turner would said to have introduced the concept known in 1780. The copper plate to its original design was engraved by Thomas Minton and remains always Coalport China. The story says that most reported that the design of willow was the creation of Josiah Spode, a derivative of an original model called Mandarin Chinese. Spode willow developed his model, around 1790.

The traditional design of Willow's always a nice house with a large Chinese willow, a small bridge with 3 figures, a humble servant of the house the foot of the bridge, a small Chinese boat and well-known birds love field above the willows. The romantic conception of science could add to its popularity in recent years.

History is something like this .......

Long ago, in the days when China was ruled by the emperors, mandarins, Tso Ling China, lived in the magnificent pagoda under the branches of apple trees to the right of the bridge over which leans willow famous, and before seeing the sleek lines of the fence. Tso Ling was the father of a beautiful girl, Kwang-se, who was the girlfriend of an old merchant, but rich. The girl, however, fell in love with Chang, secretary to his father. The lovers fled across the sea to the cottage on the island. The mandarin pursued and caught the lovers and was nearly were killed when the gods changed into a pair of doves. These eyes are on the minds of others and Chang Kwang-SE, a pair of binoculars ever love. "
