<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 204770, member: 44&quot;]Welcome to the forums! The transferware scene on this gravy/sauce boat has elements of the &quot;Willow&quot; pattern - a chinoisere pattern: 1st pic - 2 story pavilion with 3 pillars in front of it and a zig-zag diapered paneled fence; 2nd pic - 3 figures crossing a 3 archd bridge, remnants of the 2 story pavilion with pillars on far right. 2 flying swallows turning towards each other above the bridge. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Willow pattern has been used, duplicated and reproduced in one form or another since the mid to late 1800s. The pattern was developed in England from designs found on imported Chinese ware. With this all said and done, I feel your boat is a relatively recent reproduction because of the sloppiness of transfer. It wasn&#039;t laid straight. Now, mine you, this was my opinion at this moment. Others with much more knowledge of judging and dating earthenware will soon chime in. Do listen to their opinions!</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
