The History Of Blue Willow China
The pattern of Blue Willow china , more commonly known simply as Blue Willow or a Willow pattern, is a two-century old design of kitchenware and dishes, featuring (as the name suggests) a blue image over a white backdrop. The 1st arrival of this pattern was by English potter and ceramist Thomas Minton, who quickly developed international name as a fine dish crafter. Historians and antique pros differ on whether Minton merits the lion share of credit, as some claim that rival Thomas Turner could have invented the line. Regardless of its origins, Blue Willow china boasts some of the most well-liked designs for plate fashion during the last two hundred years.
While blue and white are the dominant color schemes of these High Quality plates, it's also common for artisans to include lighter complementary colours like green and pink into the creativity. The pattern is not uniform among each piece of dinnerware but includes a few continuing elements, most frequently a massive medieval Chinese building on the right and a gateway, bridge, or tree grove on the left. Minton (or Turner) never revealed the history behind this pattern and how it came to be developed. It is assumed that several different legends may provide the clue, including that it is based mostly on an older designed.
The first explanation is related to Hung Society, an underground movement struggling against Manchu tyrants who declined to permit clandestine rites; Hung fashions eg the Willow could have amounted to a type of code or pictorial handshake for members. Minton may have seen this on trips to China, or it might have been smuggled into Britain
One origin relates to a story of a Mandarin couple, divided by wealth and class lines. The rich girl fell head over heels in love with a lowly accountant, causing the daddy to build up a fence to keep the pair apart. A planned wedding to a loaded lord failed when the plucky accountant decamped with the girl; the two would be hunted down and put to death by the lord.
A last meaning to the Blue Willow china pattern is from a Shaolin religious order, reflecting the passing of monks who were ostracized and cast out by other Chinese factions. The doves on the pattern may represent the priests as they cross from the land of the living to the dead, watched over by the Three Buddha deities as they enter the next life.
