A collection of earthenware table service pieces decorated in the Real Old Willow? pattern. The set is executed in blue transfer print, featuring traditional chinoiserie scenes of pagodas, bridges, and birds. This specific variation includes a distinctive gilded and copper-toned geometric border overlaying the transfer print, further enhanced by gilded highlights to the rims, handles, and ornate finials. The group includes two twin-handled covered vegetable tureens, two teapots of differing sizes, two milk jugs, a large oval serving platter, and multiple teacups and saucers. The underside of several pieces, including the milk jug and teacups, bears a circular printed backstamp featuring a crown above text; while the central name is not fully legible, the layout is consistent with the Booths? factory mark.
