This vintage set includes 4 round, 6 1/2" luncheon or dessert plates from Franciscan in the Desert Rose pattern, originating from California in the mid-20th century. Handmade from earthenware, each plate features a hand-painted pink floral design with a glossy finish, embodying a mid-century modern style ideal for all occasions. The plates are part of the Desert Rose product line and showcase a cottage core theme, making them a charming addition to any table setting. Desert Rose china became popular for its unique design. The bright pink and green hues of the pattern gave it a vintage charm that was unlike any other dinnerware patterns in circulation at the time. Franciscan?s pattern got a significant boost in popularity thanks to widescale advertising campaigns throughout the 1940s and 1950s that featured Hollywood celebrities such as Joan Crawford, Greer Garson and Dorothy Lamour. In 1964, the sixty millionth piece was produced and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy chose Franciscan Desert Rose for use in the White House.
