[quote="Azgarden"]@plantmanager my MIL had the Franciscan Desert Rose dishes too! Fortunately, my SIL, kept them and we use them at family dinners sometimes. My mom had Franciscan Apple. By the time they got to me, most pieces were chipped. Wish I had the nerve to do some mosaic with them! Thanks for the memories, Karen.
My MIL also had the apple ones. Those dishes did chip easily. I once saw a beautiful mosaicked mirror made with the Desert Rose pattern.
I have one set of dishes that I'm thinking of smashing. It's Persimmon by Dorothy thorpe. It's got 22K gold on it. I tried selling it on ebay, and it didn't sell well.
