OLD BLUE WILLOW
MAKES DECORATING ON THE PRAIRIE
A LOT OF FUN!
Blue Willow Dishes have been around for a l o n g time. Last Autumn I started purchasing Blue Willow from a Grocery Store. I put off buying during the Christmas Holiday because the money only goes so far. It was more important to Christmas shop for loved ones then to add to my collection. I can wait. So I did wait until SHORTLY after Christmas this particular bowl was picked up at the Marion Thrift Shop. She's old. Has a few chips. She was only $2.50. A good find.
Into the cabinet she rest until we have an old fashioned meal using this ancient patterned dishes.
Decorating On The Prairie is lots of fun when a simple 'ole dish puts a smile in your heart and a grin on your face.
Blue Willow....I love you.

This pattern was popular in 18th Century England, e.g. porcelain designed by Thomas Minton around 1790 and used over 200 years.

I love Blue Willow and the story behind it. I have over 100 pieces but Occupied Japan era (I lived in Japan in the late 90s), new pieces and old pieces. I also have it in red. It just makes me smile. Pamie G.
I bought my blue willow from the grocery store too way way back in the 70's, I always wanted the pink but never got them

I love Blue willow china. Been collecting them too....Christine
Can't wait to have a meal on them! (After the kitchen is completed) How about Fried Chicken? :)
That bowl was a neat find.
