Review of Johnson Brothers Desert Rose 28-Piece Set

I ordered this 28 piece Johnson Brothers/Franciscan dinnerware set from Barron's through Amazon. When I received it in the mail it was securely wrapped up and everything was safe inside. And shipment was fast. A few weeks later, I received a hand-written note from Barron's thanking me for the purchase! Great customer service!

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 handpaintedpattern 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.
