Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Intricate and romantic, Churchill China’s Chelsea Blue Willow dinnerware is based on a legend of two star-crossed Chinese lovers. Crafted with comfortable proportions, the dark blue and white pattern features intricate double borders with geometric detailing for a fabric-like visual texture. The central imagery depicts a Chinese landscape complete with bridges, a river, trees, and houses. Two doves--reincarnations of the fugitive lovers--hover above the scene. Churchill China adds a slight sculptural waviness to the borders of plates and bowls and the bodies of teacups for light-catching effects.
This 20-piece Blue Willow collection includes four complete place settings, each with a 10-inch dinner plate, 6-3/4-inch bread and butter plate, 6-1/2-inch cereal bowl, 5-1/2-inch saucer, and 8-ounce teacup. The dishes are crafted from high-fired earthenware and finished with a glossy top-glaze to protect the transfer-print pattern. Chip-resistant and designed to withstand frequent use, the set is safe in the microwave, freezer, and dishwasher. --Emily Bedard

One day she escaped, and the two lovers raced over the bridge to the waiting boat, with the mandarin in pursuit, they managed to elude the mandarin, reach the boat, and sail away. A storm developed, the boat foundered and the couple were lost at sea. It is said that the two love birds appeared immediately after-the spirits of Hong Shee and Chang."

This review is from: Churchill China Chelsea Blue Willow 20-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4 (Kitchen)
Received as a requested gift this 20 piece set and while it's pleasant enough, it is not what was advertised. The description clearly states that the dinnerware is "Made in England." Now I realize it's been a long time since I've been in school but I'm somehow sure that Colombia hasn't become part of the United Kingdom (England) and all of these dishes say "Made in Colombia" on the bottom. I am disappointed.

It is disappointing to be lied to so blatently. The pieces are nice for the price though. When they say "a lighter, more contemporary feel" they mean a thinner, less substantial feel. The bowls are on the small side and it is a small bread and butter plate, not a salad plate. Oh well.

Gorgeous Blue Willow Ware!,
By Mom & Dad (Central KY, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Churchill China Chelsea Blue Willow 20-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4 (Kitchen)
Our daughter is getting married and her birthday is the end of this month, so her grandmother sent her a 20-piece set as a surprise birthday present. We have been researching the story of Blue Willow Ware and this is a great example of deep cobalt blue transferware, along with having a flute-flair around the edges. Nice quality! She was, of course, delighted! Mom & Dad
