Antique "Real Old Willow" Scalloped Serving Plate - A8025 - Booths - c1900s

This elegant serving platter by Booths is a truly unique example of the Real Old Willow pattern, crafted in England in the early 1900s.

Unlike later reproductions, this original features a beautiful scalloped edge with hand-painted gilt details that accentuate the classic two-tone blue design on a pure white base. The vibrant cobalt and sky-blue tones, inspired by 18th-century Chinese landscapes, illustrate the iconic "Willow" story—complete with a serene pagoda, flying birds, and lovers escaping over a bridge.

Booths developed Real Old Willow on their signature Silicon China, a durable yet refined ceramic designed for the grand hotels and sea liners of the time.

This piece is not only a functional serving dish, but also a collector's item, cherished for its historical roots and outstanding craftsmanship. Hang it as a stunning centrepiece on a kitchen or dining wall, or bring a touch of English tradition to your table settings.
