Allertons Pottery, located in Longton, Staffordshire, was a prominent pottery company that operated from 1859 to 1942[1]. Founded by Charles Allerton and his sons, the company gained recognition for its quality ceramics and innovative designs. One of the notable lines produced by Allertons Pottery was the Blue Willow line, which featured the iconic Blue Willow pattern.

The Blue Willow pattern is an enduring classic inspired by Chinese mythology and aesthetics. It tells the tale of two star-crossed lovers who are transformed into doves to escape an arranged marriage[3]. The design typically includes a picturesque landscape with a willow tree, a bridge, and various symbolic elements.

Allertons Pottery became renowned for its interpretation of the Blue Willow pattern, producing plates, bowls, teapots, and other ceramic items featuring this beloved design. Allertons' Blue Willow line stood out for its attention to detail and vibrant blue glazing. See less
