Franciscan Apple Earthenware was made from 1940 to 1984 inthe USA; primarily in California. It was one of the most popular dinner warepatterns in the 1940’s and 1950’s. After 1984, the pattern was then made inEngland, Portugal and later in China. Those pieces made in California/USAappear to be the most sought-after pieces by collectors. Those ...made inCalifornia can be identified by the stamp usually found on the bottom of eachitem. The stamp helps identify what year each item was produced.
Each individual piece is hand crafted using molds, firing, hand painting and glazing. As a result, each piece is unique as to thecraftsmanship of each worker. In the older items one can expect variances as tocoloration and craftsmanship. Expect some anomalies in some of the olderpieces. These add to the character of the piece and shouldn’t distract from thequality of the item.
