Amazon.com Review
Introduced in California in 1940, the Franciscan Apple pattern gained immediate popularity and has become a favorite of collectors around the world. Leafy branches of red harvest apples painted on ivory porcelain evoke the rustic charm of a bygone era in California. This pattern's great charm comes from design touches such as teacup handles shaped like branches. This 20-piece set provides service for four; each place setting consists of a 10-3/4-inch dinner plate, an 8-inch salad plate, a 6-inch soup/cereal bowl, and a cup and saucer. Whether this set marks an auspicious beginning or the grand expansion of your china collection, you can rest assured that you have invested in something worth keeping--a classic pattern that will be cherished for generations to come. Dishwasher-, microwave-, and freezer-safe, this tableware is durable enough to use every day. --Erin Brown What's in the Box

Now, I have more than 300 pieces of Franciscan Apple dinnerware, including some highly collected pieces. Each piece of Apple china is handpainted and unique. The five-piece placesettings (10 3/4-Inch Dinner Plates, 8-Inch Salad Plates, 6-Inch Soup/Cereal Bowls, and Cups w/Saucers) are practical for everyday use because they are safe in the microwave oven, dishwasher, and may be warmed in a slow oven (225 degrees). There are pretty Franciscan Apple table linens, including placemats, napkins, and several sizes of tablecloths, that are available from Wedgwood. I also have used table linens in almond, dark green, and rust shades to complement this pattern. The Apple pattern is "open stock," which means you can continue to add many more pieces over the years, such as luncheon plates, side salads, and even matching glassware.
