Besides this functional dinnerware set for dining in it is also rare and extremely collectible as it was produced over a long period of time spanning 1934 to 1984 with some pieces made in the US, England, Portugal, and later pieces were made in China. I have shown the various backstamps in my pictures above some of the backstamps are done in ink and some are impressed and the impressed stamps are made in England and were very difficult to photograph so if you want to know which are impressed don't hesitate to message me.

In fact, there are whole societies and online clubs and organizations as well as written publications devoted to the collection of Franciscan desert rose dinnerware. The supply meets the demand for this beautiful and excellent porcelain china.

The set is in amazing condition with only a tiny chip underneath the lip of the creamer that I touched up with porcelain china paint to prevent lead leaching and when this set on the tabletop it not at all noticeable. After all this set spans six decades and to have one minor flaw is truly amazing! This timeless and lovely six place set with all its unique & unusual serving pieces is ready to set your table and serve your social guests for a meal of a lifetime; a meal your guests will be chattering about long after your dinner party is over with. The set also displays well in a glass china cupboard with its beautiful and vibrant desert rose pattern.

Franciscan dinnerware is hand-painted and glazed with a "high fire one fire process" to prevent significant lead leaching. And any porcelain china made after 1971 is lead free. Prior to 1971 porcelain china, ceramic china, and earthenware contained lead that if you don't serve food on it properly like keeping it out of the oven and touching up cracks, chips, and crazing, will not transmit significant amounts of lead to make it toxic to humans.

If fact, it tests via the Environmental Protection Agency or EPA "3M LeadCheck" gave a 98% false positive result making this dish set "low leach" and not a significant risk for lead poisoning. However, others may disagree and for those that do this 55 piece set displays well in a glass china cabinet, around a dining room resting on plate rails above wainscoting, in a kitchen on one or more display shelves, and up against the backsplash in your kitchen as well. The set would compliment a shabby-chic, country kitchen, urban farmhouse, propped up on galvanized shelves in a industrial warehouse dining space, traditional, eclectic, and even that one vintage motif in a contemporary or minimalist decorum.

So, if you are redecorating this Fall make an offer I can't refuse. Don't hesitate to make a'reasonable' offer as my pricing is flexible as well.
