6 PIECE FRANCISCAN DESERT ROSE CERAMIC SMALL 3" MUG CUPS USA BACKSTAMPS 1970s

APPROX MEASUREMENTS

3" tall

3" diameter opening

2.25" diameter base

DESCRIPTION 

Lovely set of 6 ceramic earthenware squat coffee mugs from Franciscan Desert Rose collection.

Slightly raised handpainted desert rose design.

Twisted branch handles.

I found that the older pieces have a deeper richer ivory color but lighter colors in the design of the flowers.

Eclipse mark changed from brown in the 60s to dark gray in the 70s. Decorator # on bottom of pieces changed color also, so color of printed mark tells me from 1970-74.

Two don't have a mark but that wasn't unusual,  just believing that because they came as a set they are all from same period but I could be wrong!

CONDITION 

Used but very Good condition, no chips, cracks, or crazing. There are pottery stilt marks on the back.
