Vintage Franciscan Desert Rose Cup and Saucer. Ceramic. Cup stands 2" and saucer measures 5.75". Very good condition. Made in the USA.
This exquisite cup and saucer set features the legendary Desert Rose pattern by Franciscan, one of the most beloved and longest-running dinnerware designs in American history. Introduced in 1941, this pattern captures the rugged beauty of the California desert with its hand-painted pink blossoms and intricate woody vine details. The cup sits low and elegant, perfectly complemented by the scalloped saucer, both of which showcase the high-quality craftsmanship of the original "Made in the USA" production.
The ceramic is in very good condition, retaining its lustrous glaze and vibrant colors. The textured vine handle and rims provide a tactile quality that is characteristic of the California Poppy and Desert Rose lines, making each piece feel like a small work of art. This set is a quintessential addition for any collector of Mid-Century Americana or those curating a traditional cottage-style kitchen. Its classic floral motif and earthy tones make it an ideal choice for a sophisticated afternoon tea or as a beautiful display piece in a china cabinet. Because this set was produced in the United States, it carries the weight and durability sought after by discerning vintage enthusiasts.
This item is vintage, approximately 60 years old.
