Some facts about Willow Ware:

To be a true Blue Willow pattern it must include:

willow trees
Chinese pine trees (commonly confused as apple or orange trees)
a bridge with three men on it
a fence
a boat
a teahouse (or pagoda) and
two birds in flight.

The more you know....

Not particularly a random photo, but my 85 Carrera near downtown, Oklahoma City at our PCA region's 55th anniversary party.



Over 80 cars and THE oldest Porsche sold new in the USA. A 1952 356 Cabriolet.

I love the striped pattern on the grip. It's interesting the grip on mine has some of the light and dark wood on one side, and the other side is completely the lighter tone. I like that the look is a little different depending upon which side I see.
