Old Willow 'Geometric' Sterling Silver Oval Pendant
Gorgeous vintage British porcelain, hand cut and crafted into a charming sterling silver pendant. Measures roughly 24x14x4mm including bail.
Please note - you will receive one (1) pendant for this listing. We have more than one of these pendants in stock, with approximately identical patterns, but due to the way the china is cut from the original piece, the frames may differ very slightly in size - please see photos for examples.
Comes with a complimentary matching 18" sterling silver chain and is carefully presented in letterbox friendly Two Skies packaging with an Old Willow story card.
The tale of the willow pattern is based on an ancient love story. A peasant boy and princess were in love but the King would not let them marry. He built a large fence around the palace and arranged a suitable marriage with a Duke. Arriving by boat, the Duke found that the couple had already escaped over a bridge to an island where the Gods had taken pity on them and transformed them into immortal doves.
“Every picture tells a story,
Like the Willow Pattern blue,
And true love will reign in glory,
To infinity! Adieu!”
Excerpt from “The Willow Pattern” by B. L. Bowers
