A classic and beloved pattern, this is vintage Franciscan Desert Rose, made in England. These pieces are perfect for completing your set or starting a new collection.
Invite a timeless American classic to your table with this Franciscan Desert Rose creamer and lidded sugar bowl set. Though the pattern originated in California in the 1940s, this specific set was produced during the brand's distinguished era of production in England, a period favored by collectors for its high-quality glazing and refined ceramic weight. The "Desert Rose" motif is one of the most successful patterns in dinnerware history, celebrated for its hand-painted pink blossoms and the unique, rustic "bark" texture of the ceramic body.
Both pieces stand approximately 4 inches tall and feature the signature brown vine handles and sculpted rosebud lid that give this pattern its dimensional, lifelike charm. This set is in very good vintage condition, retaining the vibrant pinks and deep greens of the hand-painted floral elements without any significant wear to the glaze. Whether you are expanding an existing heirloom collection or looking for a standalone "Grandmillennial" accent for your coffee service, this Made-in-England set offers a touch of cottage-inspired elegance. Its sturdy construction and classic floral aesthetic make it an ideal choice for a sunny breakfast nook or a traditional afternoon tea display.
This item is vintage, approximately 40 years old.
