This salad plate is in the Desert Rose pattern which was first manufactured in the early 1940s, and the best-selling American dinnerware pattern in history. Desert Rose made its debut in 1941 and enjoyed the world's longest period of popularity of any dinnerware pattern produced by a single company until it was discontinued in 1984. The Rose Rugosa, a rugged wild rose of poem and song, was a natural design selection. This timeless classic and highly collectible Dessert Rose pattern has embossed fully opened pink roses, golden centers, soft green leaves and thorny vines, all hand painted and enhanced on a cream background. The crescent salad plate measures 8 inches long and 4½ inches wide in the center.
