Vintage Franciscan Desert Rose Made in USA

When the ground-breaking Desert Rose pattern by Franciscan premiered in 1941, it was a distinctly American contrast to traditional European bone china. The gamble paid off - Desert Rose would go on to become one of the largest selling casual tableware patterns in the history of dinnerware! With hand-painted clusters of vibrant pink flowers, olive green stems on a cream background, and brown branches gracefully forming the trim of each piece, Desert Rose has a definitively rustic California aesthetic. Set of 5 Franciscan Desert Rose rimmed soup plates. All are hand painted so all 5 plates look slightly different as seen in pictures. 3 are excellent preloved condition 2 show a little more wear / utensil marks. All pieces have Made in USA Backstamp. Please refer to all pictures posted for condition and measurements. Offers always welcome.
