Franciscan Desert Rose Salt & Pepper Set
Part of the bestselling dinnerware pattern in American history, this salt and  pepper set exemplifies the informal grace of Southwestern hospitality. First made in  California and now produced in various countries, Franciscan dinnerware achieved  immediate popularity when it appeared in the late 1930s and ranks as a prized collectible,  particularly the American-made pieces (pre-1984). Apple (1940) and Desert Rose (1941)  are the only continuously produced Franciscan patterns. Today's Franciscan dinnerware  fulfills contemporary expectations, going safely into the dishwasher, microwave, and  freezer. On place settings and serving pieces, the pattern's subtly painted pink desert roses  and green leaves are set against a sand background. This set of shakers in the sculpted  form of roses and green leaves, complements the full pattern.--Fred Brack
