Vintage Franciscan Desert Rose Round Vegetable Bowl
$52.99
Vintage Franciscan Vegetable Bowl. Measures 8". Made in California. Excellent condition.
This essential round vegetable bowl is a centerpiece of the Franciscan Desert Rose collection, embodying the rustic charm and floral elegance of 1950s California pottery. Measuring eight inches in diameter, this serving piece is perfectly sized for family-style sides, featuring the deep, sloping sides that define the classic vegetable bowl silhouette. The interior is anchored by a vibrant, hand-painted pink desert rose, while the scalloped perimeter is adorned with the pattern's signature embossed brown vine and trailing green leaves. Because this bowl carries the coveted California backstamp, it displays the rich, high-gloss glaze and artisan paint applications that distinguish early American production from later iterations.
The Desert Rose pattern was designed to bring the warmth of a blooming garden to the scullery, and this serving bowl serves as a functional work of art. It remains in excellent condition, with a brilliant finish and no signs of the heavy wear often seen on vintage serving pieces. For a modern styling idea, use this bowl to serve a vibrant spring salad or as a decorative vessel for seasonal fruit on a kitchen island. The heavy-weight ceramic and timeless botanical motif make it a versatile addition to a coordinated table setting or a beautiful standalone gift for a collector. Its sturdy construction ensures it remains a practical and sentimental heirloom, representing the golden era of West Coast ceramic manufacturing.
This item is vintage, approximately 70 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
