HobbyGaia - Collections - Beautiful dish of the  Earthenware factory of Massarelos in perfect vintage (centenary), from the beginning of the nineteenth ,; C & W refers to Chambers & Wall Lda, its owner between 1912 and 1920, who specialized in the manufacture of English-type crockery with various design motifs such as the Willow Patern, with predominant colors of blues, green and brown of a theme worthy of the Thousand and One Nights; let's see:

Once there was a wealthy Mandarin, who had a beautiful daughter (Koong-se). She had fallen in love with her father's humble accounting assistant (Chang), angering her father. (It was inappropriate for them to marry due to their difference in social class.) He dismissed the young man and built a high fence around his house to keep the lovers apart. The Mandarin was planning for his daughter to marry a powerful Duke. The Duke arrived by boat to claim his bride, bearing a box of jewels as a gift. The wedding was to take place on the day the blossom fell from the willow tree.

On the eve of the daughter's wedding to the Duke, the young accountant, disguised as a servant, slipped into the palace unnoticed. As the lovers escaped with the jewels, the alarm was raised. They ran over a bridge, chased by the Mandarin, whip in hand. They eventually escaped on the Duke's ship to the safety of a secluded island, where they lived happily for years. But one day, the Duke learned from their refuge. Hungry for revenge, he sent soldiers, who captured the lovers and put them to death. The gods, moved by their plight, transformed the lovers into a pair of doves (possibly a later addition to the tale, since the birds do not appear on the earliest willow pattern plates) - from Wikipedia.

the romantic fable
There once was a rich mandarin who had a beautiful daughter (Koong-se). She had fallen in love with her father's humble accounting assistant (Chang), angering her father. (It was inappropriate for them to marry due to the difference in social class.) He sent the young man away and built a high fence around his house to keep the lovers apart. The Mandarin was planning for his daughter to marry a powerful duke. The Duke arrived by boat to claim his bride, carrying a jewelry box as a gift. The wedding would take place on the day the flower fell from the willow.

On the eve of his daughter's wedding to the duke, the young accountant, disguised as a servant, entered the palace unnoticed. When the lovers escaped with the jewels, the alarm was raised. They ran across a bridge, pursued by the mandarin, whip in hand. They ended up escaping on the Duke's ship to the safety of an isolated island, where they lived happily for years. But one day the duke learned of their refuge. Hungry for revenge, he sent soldiers, who captured the lovers and killed them. The gods, moved by their plight, turned the lovers into a pair of doves (possibly a later addition to the tale, since birds do not appear on the first willow pattern plates). (From Wikipedia)
