Franciscan Desert Rose Is Rare American Art

Franciscan Desert Rose is the top-selling dining ware of all-time in American family life, its 5-star status earned decades ago for bold experiments incorporating advanced arts and crafts into the wizardry of American manufacturing.

The beauty of Desert Rose begins with the natural realism of its production design. 57 sizes and shapes, bowls and plates sculptured and contoured. Blooms, leafs and vines embossed, hand painted nature ware; glazed once, fired; preserved in mint condition.

Each bloom of sunny pink rose petals changes shape and size. The roses are hand painted embossings of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 blooms a dish--over a dozen blooms in a single place setting--with vibrant leafs, supple vines edging scalloped plates. Its glaze protects against damage to the art.
