Blue Willow Bowls

Blue Willow Bowls — a timeless pair of patterned transferware pieces from the world’s most enduring tableware design. These shallow bowls feature the hallmark elements of Blue Willow: a Chinese-style pagoda, three-figure bridge, weeping willow tree, and flying birds — all rendered in deep cobalt blue over white ceramic. Each bowl includes a molded rim and is finished with a glossy glaze.

First introduced in England during the late 18th century, the Blue Willow pattern quickly became a household staple in both Britain and America. The design was inspired by Asian porcelain but adapted for mass-market appeal, often paired with a romanticized legend of star-crossed lovers. By the mid-20th century, nearly every major ceramic producer offered their version of the pattern, making it one of the most recognizable motifs in Western tableware.

Ideal for cottage-style or traditional interiors, these bowls bring classic charm to the table or shelf. Whether used functionally or displayed with other Blue Willow pieces, they celebrate a long tradition of ceramic storytelling.
