Description

Set of 7 Franciscan Desert Rose Mugs — Hand-Painted, Vintage USA, Mixed Backstamps

This charming set of seven vintage mugs is from the iconic Franciscan Desert Rose dinnerware line, known for its hand-painted pink roses and rustic, sculpted twig-style handles. Made in the USA, these mugs span multiple eras of production, as reflected by their varied backstamps—from early Made in California versions to later Franciscan Earthenware marks.

A delightful collectible group ideal for use or display, with beautiful brushwork and a timeless cottage-style aesthetic.
