Blue Willow, Since 1790...
Developed at the Caughley China factory of Stoke-on-Trent in Shropshire, England by Thomas Minton (see the Wikipedia article below), Blue Willow continues to be one of the most popular designs in modern tableware.
To me, the look is a representation of Asian elegance and British Colonial traditions. Not only is Blue Willow pottery beautiful, it is a slice of world history in artistic form.
I hope you will enjoy seeing more of what is available today.
Blue Willow...what Wikipedia Says
The Willow pattern is a distinctive pattern used on ceramic and porcelain kitchenware and houseware. It was designed by Thomas Minton in about 1790, and has remained popular ever since. The pattern uses Chinese motifs, which were fashionable in England at the time it was designed, but there is no evidence that it has any direct connection with, or reference to, Chinese history or legend.

I love Blue Willow. I have a set of them. They are so pretty, though, so I don't use them very often. Always afraid I'll break them.
