They feature a gorgeous Blue Willow landscape with all four elements of the design, the Pagoda, the Bridge, the Birds and of course the Willow Tree. This is the most dramatic Willow Tree we have ever come across. It’s very unique. We curated this from an Estate Sale and the served in the war and was stationed in Japan afterwards. We believe these were a gift he brought home for his wife. Of note, these are probably saucers, but there were no cups in the house. Additionally, we have never come across saucers with the design across the full center. So it’s somewhat of a mystery. But with the additional gold diamond crisscross band on the edge, these are way too pretty to sit a cup on. We would absolutely use them as petite plates for first courses or a dessert service. Beautiful set.
