Vintage 1944-45 Franciscan Desert Rose Earthenware, 10Covered Casserole Dish. This Dish was only made 1 year by the company and has been in my family for many years. Rare piece because it was only made 1 year! The only condition issues is under the lid is 2 chips and are both underneath the lid. The chips have been there for years and have not spread or effected the visual aspect of the piece, because you cannot see the chips from the front side. Please View Photos (photo #12 shows chips). Length 7(1/2). Width 7(1/2). Length 10 (handle to handle). Depth 3(1/2). The bottom of the bowl is stamped Franciscan made in California. Numbers are a bit difficult to read but, I can make out 1_56 and the Lid _854. This item is in the category “Pottery & Glass\Decorative Cookware, Dinnerware & Serveware\Bowls”.
