Description

Franciscan Apple Pattern 9‑pc Set — Made in California, Excellent

This charming 9-piece Franciscan Apple ceramic dinnerware set was produced in California by Gladding, McBean & Co. The Apple pattern, introduced in 1940, became one of the brand’s most iconic and enduring lines. Featuring bold, hand-painted apples, leafy green foliage, and wood-textured handles, each piece is finished in a warm ivory glaze.

Designed by Mary K. Grant, this pattern reflects the rustic charm and craftsmanship of mid-century American ceramics. The set includes a variety of serving and tabletop pieces—ideal for display or everyday use.

Included:

  • Sugar bowl
  • Salt & pepper shakers
  • Gravy boat with attached underplate
  • Divided serving dish
  • (2) Lidded individual casseroles
  • (2) Small bowls

Each piece is marked “Franciscan / Made in California,” indicating it was produced prior to the company’s acquisition by Wedgwood in 1979.


Condition:

In excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or visible damage. The glaze remains glossy, and the hand-painted decoration is vibrant and intact. A remarkably well-kept vintage set.


Dimensions:

  • Sugar Bowl: 2.5 x 5 x 3 in
  • Salt & Pepper Shakers: 6 x 2.75 in each
  • Gravy Boat with Underplate: 3.75 x 8.5 x 5.25 in
  • Divided Dish: 1.25 x 12 x 9.5 in
  • (2) Lidded Casseroles: 3 x 7.5 x 4.75 in each
  • (2) Bowls: 2.25 x 5.5 in each

Total: 9 pieces
