I just received a scan from the author of a short article on the history and popularity of the willow pattern. It was published in the April issue of "Period Homes & Interiors" in the U.K. Katherine Sorrell, the author, contacted me asking for photos and information to help fill out her article. She was much more appreciative and generous in her use of my offerings than most people who contact me. She quoted my book several times as well as Robert Copeland's Spode's Willow Pattern and other designs after the Chinese. She included full information on both of those books as well as including www.willowcollectors.org. The photos are on one page and the text on another (pages 68-69), so I now have a scan of the article for my files. I am pleased to know there is continued interest in the U.K. regarding our willow pattern!
