First introduced in 1941 by Gladding, McBean & Company and created by designer Annette Honeywell of Los Angeles, Desert Rose was designed to give it a West Coast feel with its hand-painted clusters of vibrant pink flowers, olive green stems on a cream background, and graceful brown branches as trim for each piece. This pattern has become a classic and many lovers of fine porcelain dinnerware are still drawn to its unique design and vintage charm. Serve your favorite cereal, fresh fruit, or pudding in these charming bowls. Whether you want to add to your existing Desert Rose collection or simply want to start one, the price on these pieces cannot be beat. Priced at a famous china website for $20 a piece, I am offering them at a fantastic price considering that this pattern is discontinued. They are in great pre-loved condition which means no nicks, chips, cracks, crazing, or discoloration. Crafted in England, made of the finest Earthenware, each bowl. Microwave and dishwasher safe, however, I recommend handwashing to preserve their beauty. Please note that photography lighting sometimes affects colors and hues. I strive to be as descriptive of the item as possible. I will happily answer any questions that you may have before making your decision to purchase. I pack with care and usually ship within three days. Offers are always welcome but please, be courteous, low-ball offers will be ignored. NOTE: Please check my Closet for other pieces in this collection.
