Blue Willow 9 1/4” Plates Set of Six Made in Japan GBWJA9

Nice find, all pretty with no chips, cracks or splits, some crazing. Some appear to be used more than others, like no cutlery marks to many.

To be a true-Blue Willow pattern it must include: willow trees, Chinese pine trees (commonly confused as apple or orange trees), a bridge with three men on it, a fence, a boat, a teahouse (or pagoda) and, two birds in flight. The Legend of the Blue Willow depicts the famous Chinese legend of a wealthy man whose daughter falls in love with his clerk. The young couple elopes, and the father pursues them through his garden and onto the bridge where they transform into lovebirds and fly off beyond his reach.
