Franciscan California Desert Rose
	Hand Decorated with beautiful pink roses, green foliage, and brown vines. Chosen as A Top 500 Pattern of the 20th Century, it is considered to be one of the most popular and best selling American patterns ever made. It was made in California during the years of 1942-84, after which Franciscan was purchased by Wedgwood in England. As a result, all Franciscan wares are now manufactured in England rather than the USA. The California Desert Rose is considered to be the most desirable, and, in our opinion, this lot is a treasure of a find. The colors of the old California Desert Rose are much more brilliant than the newer English versions. Unless otherwise noted, all pieces are in perfect condition with brilliant colors. Because they are hand painted, we've noticed that some of the scalloped rims may vary in shades of green and brown. They are all beautiful and appear as though they were used very little if at all.
