Hi rhsgypsylady,
Yes, I do...
and I also remember the story.
And I bet you know it, too...
the story the Blue Willow pattern tells -- about the young couple who loved each other but were not allowed to be together because her father had promised her to a wealthy, old man. So the young lovers ran away and were turned into doves by the gods.
Those are such pretty dishes. I was told the story of the pattern many, many years ago by someone dear to me who used those dishes every day. I have a warm spot in my heart for Blue Willow dishes.
