Book Description
The Blue Willow pattern, designed in about 1780 by Thomas Minton, remains a popular china pattern beloved by all ages. One can only imagine what it would be like for your butler (if you have one) to bring your bedtime snacks on a Blue Willow platter and you fill your tummy with too much food, a bit of "imbibe" and try to sleep. Instead of visions of sugar plums, dreams may be filled with a humorous story about three young maidens (Fe, Fi and Fo) and they're charming attempts at capturing the heart of Prince Chimpanzee.From serious to silly, many stories, poems and theatrical productions have been written to capture the Chinese tale expressed by the pattern itself capturing the imagination of stories about the beautiful girl, her wealthy father, and her father's accounting assistant. "A Dish of Gossip off the Willow Pattern" was written in 1867 and published in London, England by Alex. Laidlaw, 3, Bury Court, St. Mary Axe and entered by Stationer's Hall.We refresh and renew the contents, taking liberty with additional footnotes, for your pleasure and humor.

Book Description
This book broadens the discussion of pottery and china in the Victorian era by situating them in the national, imperial, design reform, and domestic debates between 1840 and 1890. Largely ignored in recent scholarship, Ceramics in the Victorian Era: Meanings and Metaphors in Painting and Literature argues that the signification of a pot, a jug, or a tableware pattern can be more fully discerned in written and painted representations. Across five case studies, the book explores a rhetoric and set of conventions that developed within the representation of ceramics, emerging in the late-18th century, and continuing in the Victorian period. Each case study begins with a textual passage exemplifying the outlined theme and closes with an object analysis to demonstrate how the fusing of text, image, and object are critical to attaining the period eye in order to better understand the metaphorical meanings of ceramics. Essential reading not only for ceramics scholars, but also those of material culture, the book mines the rich and diverse archive of Victorian painting and literature, from the avant-garde to the sentimental, from the well-known to the more obscure, to shed light on the at once complex and simple implications of ceramics' agencies at this time.
