HIC Harold Import Co. HIC Blue Willow Dessert Plates, Fine White Porcelain

HIC’s Porcelain Blue Willow Dessert Plates depict the popular and highly collected Blue Willow dinnerware design. Originating in England, circa 1780, this richly illustrated design, featuring a weeping willow, pagoda, bridge and lovebirds, portrays the Chinese legend of a wealthy man’s daughter who’s fallen in love with her father’s clerk. The father pursues the newly eloped couple through his garden and onto the bridge where they transform into lovebirds and fly off beyond his reach. Whether serving a family meal or entertaining for the holidays, Blue Willow is casual enough for use every day, yet elegant enough for those special occasions.
