Amazon.com Review
Part of the bestselling dinnerware pattern in American history, this sugar bowl exemplifies the informal grace of Southwestern hospitality. First made in California and now produced in various countries, Franciscan dinnerware achieved immediate popularity when it appeared in the late 1930s and ranks as a prized collectible, particularly the American-made pieces (pre-1984). Apple (1940) and Desert Rose (1941) are the only continuously produced Franciscan patterns. Today's Franciscan dinnerware fulfills contemporary expectations, going safely into dishwasher, microwave, and freezer. This pattern's subtly painted pink desert roses and green leaves are set against a sand background. On the sugar bowl, a rose bud serves as the lid's knob and the bowl's two handles are sculpted in the form of twisted vines. --Fred Brack
