Franciscan was originally sold under the name Franciscan Pottery and used bright colors in the design and production of earthenware pieces in the style of the American Southwest. The name Franciscan is an allusion to Franciscan monks and reflected the simple, informal style of Mexican folk pottery.
The Desert Rose pattern from Franciscan earthenware is one of their all time most popular patterns. They are a soft pink and vibrant jungle green on a cream base and a sage colored scalloped edge. Please note that there are color variations due to the hand painted nature of the plates.
