FANTASTIC 82 pc. Franciscan Desert Rose Dinnerware Set + Dish Towel & Potholder (See description) 84 items in all!!!!
This is an incredible set rarely found with these fantastic serving pieces, especially the soup terrine which is in incredible shape! There are different marks on the back of the plates and serving pieces, but I think that most of them are the older trademark (see pics) but I cannot count each piece so please bear with me and see the pictures enclosed. I have pointed out out the very few (three) flaws I have noted in the collection.
