Vintage Home is pleased to offer this set of 6 Salad Plates of the iconic Desert Rose China pattern from Franciscan. They are from our personal collection which we curated over 20 years. The pattern was released from California and was an instant hit but made even more popular when Jackie Kennedy ordered a complete set to use as the everyday china in the White House. The pattern was produced between 1941 and 1984 and is highly sought after still today as it is one of the largest selling casual dinnerware patterns ever produced in USA history. Once Mrs. Kennedy requested it for the White House, its popularity grew beyond the United States to include pieces manufactured in England/Portugal and China. But the California pieces are the most highly sought after versions for several reasons. First is because Jackie Kennedy’s set was from California. Additionally, the USA pieces are more intricate and detailed. This includes a higher raised rose, leaves and stems on each piece. The higher raised versions also offer a more intricate flower. The stateside pieces also have a more detailed scalloped rim. Pieces from England/Portugal have lower raised botanical details and a lesser scalloped edge. Finally the China versions are painted on flat surfaces with no scalloped edging. This set is from California. Additionally, we have many other serving pieces offered in our shop and a near-complete 122 piece set of the dinnerware.
