HISTORY/MARKS:  Franciscan Ceramics had its beginning in 1875 as Gladding, McBean & Co. in Lincoln, California with a partnership formed by Charles Gladding and others.  After the economic collapse of 1929, the company began to manufacture earthenware dinnerware and art pottery to boost its revenues.  For their hand painted pottery, Franciscan Apple was introduced in 1940 and Desert Rose in 1941 which became one of their best selling lines.  After many mergers and acquisitions, Wedgwood owned the Franciscan Ceramics division in 1979.  In 1984, Wedgwood closed the Franciscan Ceramics division.  Production of the Franciscan patterns Desert Rose, Apple, and Fresh Fruit was moved to the Johnson Brothers Division of Wedgwood in England, discontinuing all other dinnerware and tile lines.  Archival examples of the Franciscan ware were packed up and given to the Wedgwood Museum.  In 1940, the Apple Pattern was introduced and produced in the 1940-1984 time period.  This was the company’s first hand-decorated, embossed, underglazed pattern.  This set was produced in the USA by the Gladding, McBean & Co. of Lincoln, California.  The mark used on this item is identified by the Franciscan website as used in the 1947-1949 time period and was produced in California, USA.  Collectors refer to this mark as the "Hand Decorated mark".
