Green Willow, The Legend...Once there lived a very wealthy mandarin who had a
beautiful daughter named Hong Shee, who fell in love with her fathers
secretary, a man named Chang. To keep them apart, the father imprisoned
his daughter in the palace. One day she escaped, and the two lovers raced
over the bridge to a waiting boat. They managed to elude the mandarin,
reach the boat, and sail away. A storm developed; the boat foundered; and
the couple were lost at sea. It is said that two love birds appeared immediately
thereafter the spirits of Hong Shee and Chang, and live on to this day.
Green Willow was first offered almost two hundred yeas ago by a famous English
maker of fine china. Green Willow is still the most popular pattern to ever
appear on dinnerware. The popularity of the pattern has not faded with
time or life style changes as fads and fashions usually do. Green Willow
is as collectible today as ever and is still being made in England and
in many countries around the world.
