C.1820 Butterfly Border Willow Hot Plate

A rare early 19th-century example of English flow blue in an early variation of the Willow pattern, circa 1820. The border is adorned with delicate butterfly medallions—a charming departure from later, more standardized designs. This ingenious hot plate was crafted with a hollow interior and spout, allowing hot water to be poured inside to keep food warm while serving—an elegant dining luxury of the Georgian era.

The cobalt transfer retains its rich depth, and the hand-applied glazing shows the subtle variations collectors prize. No maker’s mark, as is typical for pieces of this period.
