Robert Dawson's original interpretation of the 'Willow Pattern' plate design made his name when he held a solo exhibition 'Appropriating the Willows' at the Studio Pottery Gallery in Exeter in 1997. This is one of a series of eight plates each of which features a plate seen from a different viewpoint, or a blown up detail of the design.
