Franciscan Ware Desert Rose

Franciscan Desert Rose 20-Piece Dinnerware Set — The largest selling pattern in the history of American dinnerware, Franciscan Desert Rose made its debut in 1941 and has enjoyed the world's longest period of popularity of any dinnerware pattern produced by a single company. The Rose Rugosa, rugged wild rose of poem and song, was a natural design selection. The character of the bloom with its simple delicate petals made it adaptable to hand painting. This beautiful pattern is still one of America's favorite casual tableware patterns. In 1964 the sixty millionth piece had been produced and Desert Rose is now on display in the historical Smithsonian Museum. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy chose Franciscan Desert Rose for use in the White House. In Desert Rose, the irregularly scalloped edge of thorny vines creates a believable frame for the fully opened pink roses with their golden centers and soft green leaves. The softness of the design is further enhanced by its cream colored background.

Please Note: Not all Franciscan Ware is safe for use in the microwave. Patterns with gold, silver or platinum decorations around the rim should not be used in your microwave because microwaves can not pass through metal. If in doubt, use this simple test: Is this Utensil Safe for the Microwave?
