Franciscan Wildflower
The lovely Wildflower pattern by Franciscan features a hand-painted underglaze floral design rendered in a gorgeous color palette. A 1942 Franciscan advertisement describes the pattern as "A hand-painted embossed design embodying the colorful wildflowers that make the slopes and valleys of California one of the world's most spectacular sights each spring...the dramatic yellow gold of the Poppy and the brilliant blue of the Lupin join gaily with the more subtle colors of the Shooting Star and the Mariposa Lily."

​Wildflower stood as a warm, distinctly American contrast to the petite floral designs and gilded accents of traditional European bone china. Although Wildflower was only produced for a short amount of time (from 1942 to 1945), there were around 30 different piece types created in the pattern, including vegetable bowls, cup and saucer sets, jam jars, water pitchers, and more. Wildflower also included matching glassware from Imperial Glass that was hand painted to coordinate with the pattern.
