Franciscan Hand-decorated Embossed Dinnerware

Justly what I wanted

Very complete and well done… we’re very familiar with Franciscan… but learned several new things in this edition.

Good info, just not up to date, 2019 on values.

It is an excellent book and had the information I was looking for on the Franciscan Apple and Desert Rose Dinnerware. It also had the marks and showed the years that they were used which I found very helpful. Thank you Mr. Elliot-Bishop for this exceptional resource that went into such detail on each pattern.

If you want to learn all about the Gladding-McBean Company and the evolution of the Franciscan Hand-Decorated dinnerware they produced for the greater part of the 20th century, this is the best reference guide you can find! Highlighting the most popular patterns in detail, I have found the answer to every question I had in this one book!

Not quite as well written and organized as the previous Franciscan book. Enjoyed but learned nothing new.

This book not only tells the history of Franciscan Hand-decorated Embossed Dinnerware, but identifies each piece by shape and size. Also, it tells the price for each piece. My copy has a copyright date of 2004. I wish they would have available an updated price list.

Great book, awesome pictures with prices. Has really great detail about many different types of Franciscan dishware.
