First introduced in 1941 by Gladding, McBean & Co. in California, the Desert Rose pattern quickly grew to become one of the most celebrated and top-selling dinnerware lines in American history. Fusing a rustic West Coast folk-art sensibility with elegant relief-molded pottery design, its distinctive five-petal pink blooms and climbing woody branches captured a timeless country estate aesthetic so completely that a set was famously selected by Jacqueline Kennedy for use in the White House.
