I officially started my Blue Willow platter collection this past weekend. I bought one at the
Urban Market in Houston. I didn't pay much for it and I'm sure to serious collectors it's probably not a notable piece, but I really like it!
I'm a sucker for the Chinoiserie designs and motifs...
Once I've gotten a collection assembled, this is how I'd love to display it...
I'd have a similar slim shelving unit built for this back wall in our breakfast area...
Anyhow, while hunting for additional pieces, I'm trying to learn more about the pattern/style and what makes some pieces more valuable than others. Since I can't blow tons of money on this initiative, I'll probably be shallow and stick to well-priced pieces that are pretty...but I'm certainly open to hearing any insight that you might have!
Do you collect anything in particular?
