I would have wanted to know where this product was made.It was shipped from Barron's and was made in China.I purchased it as a gift and later found that the recipient wanted the American-made model.I had no idea that there were different models - England, USA, and China.
Because of reports of lead contamination I don't think my friend would keep the Chinese model, which means that in addition to the $12 shipping I have already incurred, I would have to pay shipping charges again.
A very disappointing first-time experience of buying a gift on line.The one bright note was that the delivery time was terrific.
Product Description
Desert Rose the largest selling pattern in the history of American dinnerware, made its debut in later 1941.It has enjoyed the world's longest period of popularity of any dinnerware pattern produced by a single company. The Rose Rugosa, rugged wild rose of poem and song was a natural design selection. The character of the bloom with its simple delicate petals made it adaptable to hand painting. This beautiful handpaintedstyle pattern is still one of America's favorite casual tableware patterns.In 1964 the sixty millionth piece had been produced and Desert Rose is now on display in the historical Smithsonian Museum. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy chose Franciscan Desert Rose for use in the White House.In Desert Rose, the irregularly scalloped edge of thorny vines creates a believable frame for the fully opened pink roses with their golden centers and soft green leaves.The softness of the design is further enhanced by its cream colored background. All pieces are microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe.Accessories are also available.
