Johnson Brothers Willow Blue Creamer
Designers and makers of tableware for more than a century, England's Johnson Brothers introduced its highly prized and widely collected Willow Blue pattern in 1940. Inspired by an ancient love story, Willow Blue depicts Asian scenes such as boatmen, bridges, temples, flora, and fauna in cobalt blue against a white background. This 8-ounce creamer stands 3-1/2 inches high and is dishwasher-safe. Acovered sugar bowlis available to match the creamer. Both are fine pieces for dressing up an elegant table for special-occasion dining. Willow Blue pieces make wonderful gifts for both beginning and seasoned collectors.--Fred Brack
