CALYPSO
The Willow Pattern, or Blue Willow, is a distinctive pattern used on tableware. It was designed by an English engraver at the Caughley porcelain factory c. 1780, in the 'chinoiserie' style. The landscape has, at the center, a willow tree and two flying doves; on the right a large building with an ornate roof; on the left a smaller building, a variety of trees, and a bridge with human figures; in the foreground a zigzag fence. This plate is from Wicklow, Ireland.
