Highly collectible and OH SO hip, this serving dish is the perfect addition to your fancy cocktail party. This piece is perfect for any collection. Franciscan "Starburst" pattern was introduced in 1954; a smooth, decal- pattern design, as opposed to a raised, hand-painted pattern. With the prosperity that came after World War 2, consumers were ready for something new. The futuristic starry design on Franciscan Starburst fit in well with a new chrome kitchen and modern appliances. 13 inch oval platter. Has one small stain ( see photos)
