There's a neat old poem:
A Chinese vessel, sailing by.
A bridge with three men, sometimes four,
A willow tree, hanging o'er.
Built upon the river sands.
An apple tree, with apples on,
~Have a lovely weekend!...

how cool that they really do match. when you said they matched, i thought you just meant they were the same blue/white colors. neat-o!! love, k
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collection!
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful match and so thoughtful of your sister. The depth of colour in that plate is so amazing. I do love your grandma's vintage kitchen. When I first moved to my city I had a table like it in cream coloured top. I later gave it to a friend who still has it in her kitchen and it is still very sturdy.
ReplyDeleteHow special that you found these! :-)
ReplyDeleteI am just doing something in my art class that has had me going through pictures!
ReplyDeleteWillow pattern is always a favourite, so pretty.

I prefer the shape of your cups. Very important cup shape.
I love and have some blue willow pieces too. I've seen the Chinese patterns here and there, but mine is more of an English countryside look. I had just a few plates and then a friend gave me some more of hers that she'd inherited that she didn't like. Needless to say I was thrilled to take them off her hands. Will you be collecting more?
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
