Part of the bestselling dinnerware pattern in American history, this covered vegetable bowl 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 (the name honors colonial California’s mission-founding priests) fulfills contemporary expectations, going safely into the dishwasher, microwave, and freezer. This bowl’s pink desert roses and their vines and leaves are subtly sculpted for texture and depth; the bowl’s handles depict braided vines; and the lid’s knob is a perfect rosebud–all gleam against a pale sand background. The bowl holds 1-1/2 quarts of green beans or mashed potatoes and measures 9-1/2 inches from handle to handle. –Fred Brack
