Blue Willow theeservies (kop- en schotels) – Klassiek...

A charming vintage coffee set in the iconic Blue Willow pattern, one of the most beloved and recognizable earthenware and porcelain designs in history. Made of bright white porcelain with a detailed cobalt-blue transferware landscape, elegantly scalloped edges, and a subtle gold trim. The cups feature the distinctive, stylized “spur” handle. The story & meaning of Blue Willow: The design depicts a romantic Chinese legend about Koong-se, the daughter of a powerful mandarin, and Chang, her father’s humble accountant. After their love was discovered and forbidden, the lovers fled together. Eventually, they were cornered, but the gods took pity on them and transformed the couple into two doves flying together toward freedom. All the classic elements in the pattern represent part of this story: The Pagoda: The palace where the lovers met in secret. The Bridge: The route the couple took as they fled with a jewel box. The Fence: Where the furious father pursued them. The Willow Tree: A symbol of their love and sorrow. The Boat: The vessel they used to escape to a remote island. The Two Doves: The transformation of the lovers into inseparable birds at the top of the plate. Condition: Like new / unused. The glaze is perfectly glossy, with no signs of use, and the gold accents are likewise pristine. The photos form an integral part of the descriptio
