We have located a copper engraved Willow pattern item that was used for Willow pattern transfer process this seems to be very rare, as we can find no information on this item. It has no 1 engraved at top and a letter also the factory mark which is hard to read but say's ' stoneware China' within this mark. It is a very heavy item, the willow pattern that is engraved shows a space at the bottom where I would presume the transfer would allow the artist to move the transfer onto the plate and push the pattern together, hence the line you sometimes see on the plates. Would you know of anyone that may be interested in this item, if so I can them send more information. We are considering putting this onto an online auction but thought we would ask your club first if anyone is interest please email me.
