The FLORAL design Franciscan Ware was introduced in 1971 as part of the Madeira Family Shape.  The pattern was made until 1980 when it was retired.

The plates I have are marked 1973, so they are rather early days of the pattern.



💐With all my pieces when I bring them home, I hand wash them.💐 

I do this because I don’t believe you can truly say there is “no crazing” without getting them wet.  Crazing can hide.

 So, when I say there are no chips, cracks, crazing or repairs, I have done my due diligence to discover any defects.
