Covered Butter Dish with Rosebud Finial Desert Rose by FRANCISCAN MASTERPIECE

(England Backstamp) First introduced in 1941 by Gladding, McBean & Company and created by designer Annette Honeywell of Los Angeles, Desert Rose was designed to give it a West Coast feel with its hand-painted clusters of vibrant pink flowers, olive green stems on a cream background, and graceful brown branches as trim for each piece. This pattern has become a classic and many lovers of fine porcelain dinnerware are still drawn to its unique design and vintage charm. Whether you start your own collection or add to your existing one, your tablescape will shine with character and beauty. Serve your butter in this lovely dish featuring a sculptural finial rosebud. This piece is discontinued and rare, in excellent unused condition and that means no nicks, chips, cracks, crazing or discoloration. A famous china replacement website sells it for $130! I am offering it a fantastic price. Crafted in England of the finest Earthenware, it measures 8” long, it is microwave and dishwasher safe, however, I would recommend handwashing to preserve its beauty. Please note that photography lighting sometimes affects colors and hues. I strive to be as descriptive of the item as possible. I will happily answer any questions that you may have before making your decision to purchase. I pack with care and usually ship within three days. Offers are always welcome but please, be courteous, low-ball offers will be ignored. Thank you for glimpsing at my closet...it is greatly appreciated
