Wessex Collection 12" Red/Rosa Pink Willow Platter made in England Measures 12" x 10". Is in perfect unused condition with no chips, cracks or crazing. Marked Made in England Dishwasher and Microwave Safe. One of the most renowned dinnerware and giftware traditional print patterns in the World, the famous Willow pattern is steeped in history. Introduced into England in 1780, it has rarely been out of production. Today with the resurgence of demand in nostalgia, its appeal is greater than ever before. The Willow design is well over 200 hundred years old. The Willow pattern was inspired by a Chinese legend about two young lovers. A wealthy man's daughter (Hong Shee) fell in love with her father's secretary (Chang). The father did not approve of the romance. So, he confined the girl to the palace. With help from her sympathetic maid, Hong Shee escaped. The two lovers ran over a bridge to a boat and sailed away together. A terrible storm developed, the boat sank and the two lovers drowned. Legend says that two love birds appeared in the sky --- the spirits of Hong Shee and Chang happily together at last. Buyer pays priority shipping calulated at 3 lbs. We accept Paypal.
