The Willow Pattern was first developed in England around 1800. It remains one of the most popular and immediately recognisable ceramic designs. Here, architectural ceramicist Robert Dawson takes elements from the iconic pattern – pagodas, Chinese figures crossing a bridge, two lovebirds – and uses digital technology to distort and make us look afresh at the familiar imagery.
