Table of Contents
California-based Gladding, McBean & Co. began producing Franciscan dinnerware in the 1930s. Their introduction of Franciscan Apple in 1940 heralded a new product line featuring heavily sculpted, embossed dinnerware hand-decorated in brilliant colors.
Desert Rose, introduced a year later, became the top selling dinnerware pattern in the world. Many additional patterns were produced through 1984, when the Franciscan plant in Glendale, California was closed.
This comprehensive guide focuses solely on Franciscan hand-decorated embossed dinnerware manufactured in the United States and includes:
- Apple
- Desert Rose (and its three variations)
- Wild Flowers
- Ivy
- Fruit
- California Poppy
- October
- Forget-Me-Not
- Strawberry Fair
- Strawberry Time
- Fresh Fruit
- Bountiful
- Rosette
- and Bouquet.
Over 430 color photos illustrate these highly collectible pieces while the captions provide values, sizes, and other information for each pattern. An extensive company history and detailed shape listings are included.
This is the complete reference for collectors of Franciscan hand-painted embossed dinnerware!
