Description:

An indented pearlware plate printed in blue in the Parasol Willow pattern. Distinguishing features include: A woman with an umbrella (parasol) standing to the right in the foreground with a child standing next to her; a large boat with sail and pennant and three willow trees in the upper half of the scene.  The geometric border includes Chinese symbols and is the same as the border found on the Three Pennants pattern which has many similar elements.  The example of Parasol Willow shown here with the impressed W DANIEL mark, is considered by Coysh and Henrywood to be a rare marked example.
