Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Since first introduced in 1941, Franciscan's charming Desert Rose pattern has sold more dinnerware than any other pattern in American History. Appealing to a broad range of people--Jacqueline Kennedy among them--this line features flowers and leaves in muted pinks and greens. The generous, cookie jar is formed in the shape of a single budding flower with a deep pink exterior, cream interior, and ring of pale green leaves around its base. Resembling hand-painted artistry with charmingly visible brush strokes, the canister conveys a warm, homey feel and finishes with an irregularly scalloped rim. The slightly flared jar is topped by an accompanying lid and measures 8-1/2 by 10 by 10 inches overall. With glossy, chip-resistant surfaces, the durable earthenware adequately handles the demands of today's busy households while also maintaining an attractive appearance. Every Desert Rose piece is dishwasher-, freezer-, and microwave-safe. For those who prefer a highly coordinated table, a broad selection of matching dinnerware, serveware, and accessories are available for purchase. -- Amy Arnold

Product Description

Desert Rose the largest selling pattern in the history of American dinnerware, made its debut in later 1941. It has enjoyed the world's longest period of popularity of any dinnerware pattern produced by a single company. The Rose Rugosa, rugged wild rose of poem and song was a natural design selection. The character of the bloom with its simple delicate petals made it adaptable to hand painting. This beautiful handpainted pattern is still one of America's favorite casual tableware patterns. In 1964 the sixty millionth piece had been produced and Desert Rose is now on display in the historical Smithsonian Museum. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy chose Franciscan Desert Rose for use in teh White House. In Desert Rose, the irregularly scallped edge of thorny vines creates a believable frame for the fully opened pink roses with thier golden centers and soft green leaves. The softness of the design is further enhance by its cream colored backgorund. This elegant cookie jar offers a wonderful variation on that classic theme. The generously sized cookie jar in the shape of a rose in full bloom, rich in color, will make a statment whehter you chose to use it everyday or put it on display. Although it may look delicate it is durabel enought ot be used everyday. This piece is dishwasher, freezer, and microwave safe.
