Willow Pattern by Julia Brooker
This design is based on the famous Willow pattern that was first produced in Stoke on Trent in the 1780s and was very fashionable in Jane Austen’s time. Imagine Jane enjoying her tea from a fine china cup decorated with a love story. She may even have drunk tea near here, as we know the Austens’ were acquaintances of the family at Down Grange House, this was their kitchen garden.
