An ancient Chinese legend tells the tale of forbidden love between a maiden and her true love, a devoted clerk, despite the maiden being promised to a powerful Duke. Before the angered Duke captures the young lovers, the gods turn them into doves so they can fly away to spend eternity together. In 1790, English potter Thomas Minton decided to bring the Blue Willow love story to life on china dishware that became the most collected in the world and now inspires these limited-edition fairy figurines. Presenting the Jasmine Becket-Griffith Blue Willow Figurine Collection, a first-of-its-kind available only from The Hamilton Collection. Reimagined by artist Jasmine Becket-Griffith, this fairy figurine collection begins with Issue One, Taste of a Perfect Romance. Soon, your collection continues with Issue Two, A Lasting Lifelong Journey Together, followed by Issue Three, Soothing Peaceful Travels and additional Blue Willow-inspired Jasmine Becket-Griffith figurines, each a separate issue to follow.‡

Handcrafted of artist's resin with a wealth of detailing, each figurine in this collection portrays a fairy with the color-streaked hair and big eyes that make Jasmine Becket-Griffith's fairy art so charming. Each fairy is posed in a delicate teacup and masterfully painted by hand in the familiar cobalt blue and white of Blue Willow china, enhanced with a glossy, porcelain-look finish. Their wings and teacups are adorned with hand-applied imagery depicting a section of the treasured Blue Willow love story. Dazzling details add even more magical touches including each fairy's gown with hand-applied glitter. Each fairy also holds a small figure to represent their part of the tale, including a dove, boat, bridge, willow tree and more, making this Blue Willow figurine collection just as heartwarming as the enchanting story it reimagines. Strong demand is expected, so don't miss out. Order now!
