The gamble paid off - Desert Rose would go on to become one of the largest selling casual tableware patterns in the history of dinnerware! This is the "Half-Moon" backstamp, placing it between 1949 to 1953, made in California. A very early piece in exceptional condition for the Desert Rose collector! Condition: Excellent condition. No damage (cracks, chips, repairs). There are a few dark specks on the bottom inside of the bowl. See Listing photos. See my other Listings for other amazing collectibles, art glass, and art pottery!
