Vintage Franciscan Desert Rose Hand-Painted Dinner Plate 10 1/2 USA 1940s

Description:  Elevate your dining collection with this Franciscan Dinner Plate in the Desert Rose pattern. Crafted in the United States, it showcases well-defined, embossed pink roses, inspired by the beautiful Rose Rugosa, wild rose with Goldish-yellow centers, green leaves and brown, thorny vines on a cream background. Being that this dinner plate is one from the earlier years of production of the Desert Rose, it bears an earlier mark dating this piece from the 1940s. Not only is the Franciscan Desert Rose pattern colorful and stylish, it carries historical significance, once chosen by Lady Jacqueline Kennedy for use in the White House.
