Gladding, McBean & Co., began production of Franciscan dinnerware in 1934 at their plant in Glendale, California. When the ground-breaking Desert Rose pattern by Franciscan premiered in 1941, it was a distinctly American contrast to traditional European bone china. The gamble paid off - Desert Rose would go on to become one of the largest selling casual tableware patterns in the history of dinnerware!
