Norfolk willow pattern

A mixed day weatherwise with rain & hail at times so have been indoors today, & desparately looking for a blip.

On the shelf I have these few pieces of Norfolk willow pattern
(at least thats what my mum always called it) as instead of the traditional Chinese willow pattern this has Norfolk scenes ,windmills, wherries on the broads and countryside.

My side of the family all originate from Norfolk and my Grandma & my mum both had the dinner & tea service each so I have inherited bits of both.
Lids have been broken long ago and the dinnerplates that were in use every day when my parents were alive still exist along with the vegetable tureens but unfortunately I don't have the room to display it all.
