Heritage Heirlooms: Blue Willow in Various Colors - Part III

The Traditional Pattern Displayed in Other Colors

The Willow Pattern is known to be recognized in the color blue but has been produced in other colors. Single monochrome colors were used, such as red, green, brown, black, pink, and mulberry. Also the Willow pattern was produced in polychrome or multicolor.

 

Here is a fine example of Brown Willow : This lamp base stands 8 ½ tall and is mounted on a brass stand. Circa approximately 1946

Through research this lamp value: Approximately is between $400.00 - $500.00 in Blue Brown is more rare and it is safe to assume the value is higher.

 

 

 

An example of Red (Pink) Willow: This is large cup measures 4 ¾ across x 3” tall and is marked with an older wreath and Japan stamp. Circa approximately early 1930’s

Through research this cup value: Approximately is between $40.00 - $50.00 Due to unique large size.

 

 

A superb example of Multicolor or Polychrome Willow: This vase stands 9” tall x 17” diameter at top. Bottom is stamped Wedgwood Circa is 1987-1993

This is a very fine example of Blue Willow's popularity in modern times.
Approximately value of this vase $125.00 - $150.00

 

Blue Willow in color is most common to find to purchase. Green seems to be rare along with Mulberry. If you have a large collection of Blue Willow and want to bring attention to it try adding a few pieces of Red Willow. It will give it a nice flair with the red, white, and blue theme.

As always, enjoy and use your collections…….

The will be the last installment of the Blue Willow Series. I hope you enjoyed this series of articles and watch for up coming articles on antiques and fine collectibles.

Thanks, for browsing!
