The features that this version shares with the original Willow Pattern are three figures crossing a bridge, a characteristic tree to the right, two doves, and a pagoda. The boat and teahouse have been replaced by a train and station building. The combination of elements tells the mythical story of a Chinese maiden and her forbidden lover who elope. Pursued and killed by her enraged father, the couple are reincarnated as doves and find eternal happiness. The text below provides a witty play on words, with a punning reference to the popularity of the 'service', referring to the china dinner service and the train service.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"London Transport Museum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56443198767452,"sku":"21883","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0937\/8090\/2236\/files\/21883.png?v=1768215382","url":"https:\/\/shop.ltmuseum.co.uk\/products\/the-popular-service-suits-all-tastes-1913-poster","provider":"London Transport Museum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
