1920s Set of 6 Blue Willow Transferware Divided Plates

Set of six 9.5-inch Blue Willow transferware divided plates, each featuring the classic chinoiserie landscape with pagoda, willow tree, bridge, and birds in rich cobalt blue on a creamy white ground. These are sectional or “grill” plates with molded partitions (typically three or four sections), originally designed for serving meats and sides separately — very popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and again mid-century.

The crisp transfer decoration, geometric border, and molded wells suggest English or American production, most commonly Staffordshire or later U.S. makers such as Homer Laughlin or similar factories that produced Blue Willow in large quantities.

Condition:
Light surface wear consistent with use
No obvious cracks visible
Typical glaze crazing may be present (common in transferware)
