Bring the timeless charm of a California cottage to your table with this iconic Franciscan Desert Rose plate.
Introduced in 1941 by Gladding, McBean & Co., Desert Rose is one of the most celebrated and widely collected patterns in American dinnerware history -- it is sometimes cited as a pattern favored in the White House, though we can't independently verify that specific claim.
Details:
- Pattern: Desert Rose (introduced 1941)
- Material: hand-painted earthenware / ceramic
- Design: embossed scalloped edge, woody branch rim, five-petal pink wild roses, olive-green foliage on a creamy-yellow glaze
- Note: as hand-finished vintage pieces, subtle variation in color and brushwork is normal and part of the charm
A wonderful way to round out an inherited set, warm up a tablescape, or add a piece of mid-century Americana to a display cabinet.
