The story begins as young Adeline Weaver sits sewing in the garden. She is 18 and though she may present a serene picture of dutiful young womanhood, inside she is raging against her fortune. So far her life has been narrow, constricted and almost entirely lacking in excitement.
Willow Ware, the blue transfer printed pattern that is possibly the most popular single pattern of ceramic dishes, is presented with makers, dates, marks and range of values. Hundreds of clear color photographs show the many styles and range of quality.
