    Excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs.  There is crazing on each plate. You will receive 2 plates measuring 7" diameter.  The legend of the willow pattern is written below.
    To explain the meaning of the images, 18th Century British potters made up a legend about star-crossed lovers. It tells of Koong-Shee, the beautiful daughter of a rich mandarin, who lived in a lavish pavilion with her father. She fell in love with her father's secretary, Chang, and rendezvoused with him under the willow tree.
    Her father wanted her to marry an elderly nobleman, so he imprisoned her by fencing in the house. The two young lovers ran away together, taking with them Koong-Shee's dowry, a basket of jewels given to her by the nobleman Ta-Jin. Enraged, Ta-Jin sent his soldiers in pursuit of the lovers across the bridge. The soldiers murdered Chang, whereupon Koong-Shee set her house and herself on fire. Up from the ashes rose two love birds, who live together above the weeping willow tree.
