Handsome Booths' Real Old Willow China

Reportedly, Booths' REAL OLD WILLOW is their most popular pattern. It features an eternally-popular blue and white color scheme with oriental pictures and a blue geometric rim and scalloped edge. 

The pattern was made for most of the 20th century, finally ceasing production in 1999. The pieces I have in my eBay store are as shown on this magnificent coffee pot. They are from the brown series as they do not have gilding on the rim and the inner band is done in brown only. 

Apparently, the first pieces with brown were made around the war years of 1939 to 1946 when gold was in short supply. Both the pattern number, A8025, and the patent mark indicate that this piece was likely made between 1944 and 1981. Previously owned by a friend of mine in her 70s and before that by her parents, I assume that these are earlier rather than later pieces.

There is apparently some confusion about the dates and the information on this page is offered for the sake of general interest and not because I am an expert in fine china. I always enjoy learning something new about a vintage item. 

Regardless of when it was made, this is a pretty blue and white china set. It is in my eBay store, looking for a new home. You will find my pieces of Old Blue Willow here.
