The most-sold dinnerware pattern in American history, Desert Rose, was first introduced by Franciscan Ceramics in 1941. The pattern’s popularity spanned decades, becoming a staple in many American homes.Pieces from the earlier production years (marked with a California backstamp, 1941-1984) generally hold slightly more value than those produced after wedgwood acquired Franciscan and moved production to Europe in 1985.
VALUE: $30 – $60 for a dinner plate with a U.S.backstamp (depending on condition and specific piece).
