The Willow Pattern Story
The story behind the famous Willow Pattern is set in ancient China and revolves around the forbidden love between two young people, Koong-se and Chang.
The Lovers
Koong-se was the beautiful daughter of a wealthy and powerful Mandarin. She lived in a grand house by a river, surrounded by willow trees and gardens. Her father had promised her hand in marriage to a wealthy, older man she did not love. However, Koong-se had fallen in love with Chang, a lowly clerk who worked for her father.
The Escape
When her father discovered the romance, he forbade the relationship and confined Koong-se to the house. Determined to be together, the lovers made plans to escape. On the night before Koong-se's arranged marriage, they fled across the bridge in her father's garden, taking refuge on a nearby island.
The Chase and Tragic End
The Mandarin was furious and sent soldiers after them. The soldiers found the lovers, and in the ensuing confrontation, both Koong-se and Chang were tragically killed. Their love was doomed, but their spirits transformed into two doves, which ascended to the heavens, symbolising eternal love.
This pendant is perfect for a 18th or 20th Wedding Anniversary gift, as it represents china and porcelain, and it also has the lovely story about eternal love behind it.
