Vintage Franciscan Desert Rose (Ivy Pattern Variants) Ceramic Dinnerware Set

This is a comprehensive vintage ceramic dinnerware collection featuring a hand-painted green ivy motif on a creamy off-white or light beige ground. The set includes a tall coffee or teapot, a gravy boat with an attached underplate, a sugar bowl with handles, multiple coffee cups, and stacks of dinner plates, salad plates, and bowls. The aesthetic is characteristic of mid-20th-century California pottery, specifically matching the Franciscan Ivy pattern which was popularized in the 1940s and 1950s. The items feature brown branch-like handles and trim, which provide a rustic, naturalistic contrast to the green foliage. The glaze appears bright and glossy across the collection. While high-resolution details are limited, common condition issues for this type of earthenware include crazing (fine surface cracks in the glaze), minor rim chips from stacking, and occasional utensil marks on the plate faces. The pieces exhibit a sturdy, heavy craftsmanship typical of functional household china from the mid-century era. The completeness of the set, including the serving pieces like the pitcher and gravy boat, adds significantly to its utility and collectible appeal.
