A: The shard with the birds flying near a tree and the shard with part of a fence are from a pattern called “Ye Olde Willow” or “Ye Olde Willow Blue.” The design is based on a Chinese love story and includes the lovers being chased by the woman’s father, birds representing the lovers after death, willow trees, a fence, and a bridge. Willow pattern dishes have been made in Staffordshire, England, since 1789. Variations have been made by companies in many countries since then and are still being made. Here is a picture of the Willow pattern.
