Franciscan Desert Rose 10-Pc Dish Set USA Handpainted Bowls Cup Saucer

This little Desert Rose sampler brings the classic pink-bloom pattern to the breakfast table without the formality of a full service. You’ll get one teacup with its matching saucer plus a stack of scalloped berry, cereal and coupe-style soup bowls—all still great for ice-cream, oatmeal or a photo-worthy fruit salad. Every piece is hand-painted over molded relief vines, so no two roses are exactly the same. The assortment carries several California backstamps used between the early 1950s and late 1960s, which collectors like because they pre-date the move to England and later China. Condition is “loved”: expect small edge chips on most rims, a few utensil marks, and overall light age crazing, but the glaze still shows good gloss. If you’ve been hunting budget replacements for a set you actually use—or props for a cottage-core shoot—these are ready for a second life.
