Willis by Spode
The Willis pattern was introduced around 1815 and has been produced in various versions over the years. The name Willis is thought to refer to the proprietor of the Thatched House Tavern in St. James Street, London who commissioned some of this pattern. The pattern was usually produced on Stone China but is also known on other bodies such as earthenware. The Stone China body became known as New Stone in 1820 when the formula was changed and Fine Stone in 1960 until it was discontinued in 1995. A popular version of the pattern was introduced in 1947 with pattern number W48. This version was printed in black and hand colored. It was in production into the 1960s but the exact date it was discontinued is not known. Some people refer to this pattern as Indian Tree.
