Blue Willow Plates with Game Boy Graphics

Posted on by

At first glance these plates look like typical vintage Blue Willow plates, but upon closer inspection you will see that they actually combine the Willow pattern with graphics from Game Boy versions of the Legend of Zelda and Pokémon games. These aren’t your grandmother’s plates after all.

These plates that mix the old with the new were made by UK-based artist Olly Moss who calls the style “8-Bit Willow“. Man, I wish I had a set of these for the dinner table.

They’re a great way to geek up those old world plates and add a touch of the modern world.

When artist Olly Moss first posted images of his video game-themed dinnerware, the Internet exploded with so much want. If you’re one of those people who coveted his geeky take on the Willow pattern, you’re in luck. The plates are on sale, but only for a very short time.

In case this is the first time you’ve heard of these plates, they look like something your grandparents would use from afar. But if you look closer you’ll see that the plates feature scenes from either Pokémon or The Legend of Zelda.
