Inspired by the beautiful pink rosa rugosa flower, Franciscan's Desert Rose dinnerware line was a beloved, highly successful china pattern Though no longer in production, it remains one of the most popular china patterns in American history and is still highly sought after by collectors.
Desert Rose was first introduced in 1941 by Gladding, McBean & Company, which was known for producing casual dinnerware in the style of Mexican folk pottery. It was created by contract designer Annette Honeywell (1902-1959) of Los Angeles in a style considered to be typical of Asian- inspired Southern California décor of the early 20th Century.
With hand-painted clusters of vibrant pink flowers, olive green stems on a cream background, and brown branches gracefully forming the trim of each piece, Desert Rose has a definitively rustic California aesthetic.
Interestingly, the rosa rugosa, the recognizable flower that's central to Desert Rose's design, is native to the Midwest and northern sections of the United States. The pattern was named Desert Rose, however, after a flower native to California to give it the West Coast cachet that was so coveted at the time.
