Franciscan Desert Rose (USA)

Franciscan Desert Rose pattern, marked with the USA backstamp, is an iconic American dinnerware design. Introduced in 1941 by Gladding, McBean & Co. in California, this hand-painted pattern features pink roses, green leaves, and twisting brown stems against a warm ivory background. The design quickly gained popularity due to its elegant yet casual appeal, making it a staple in American households for decades. The USA backstamp indicates pieces produced in the United States before production relocated to England in the 1980s after Wedgwood acquired Franciscan.

In addition to the pieces with the USA back stamp, we also offer Franciscan Desert Rose England back stamp and Franciscan Desert Rose Portugal back stamp.
