Three of the most beloved breakfast bowls in American dinnerware history — together.

• Pattern: Desert Rose
• Materials: Ceramic, hand-painted
• Origin: Made in England
• Era: Vintage, circa 1979–1984
• Quantity: Set of 3

These three cereal bowls were produced in England after Franciscan's manufacturing shifted there circa 1979, made by Johnson Brothers under the Wedgwood umbrella, still carrying the classic hand-painted pink rose on warm off-white ceramic. The shallow, wide profile suits cereal and oatmeal, but works just as well filled with olives, nuts, or a small fruit salad. Hand wash is recommended.

Complete a set, start one, or use them as charming individual serving bowls for casual entertaining. They make a particularly sweet housewarming or birthday gift for anyone with a love of vintage American patterns.

Desert Rose was introduced in 1941 and grew into one of the most collected dinnerware patterns ever made, prized for its hand-painted pink rose and green leaf motif on warm, embossed ceramic.
