You missing any pieces you want? And... What in the heck is that one in the front there near the right?? It looks like something with its head back and jaws open.



Anyway, I was at Goodwill thinking about you... :)

What an amazing Desert Rose collection! I would have bought all of it, even though I have no idea what that thing in the middle is... My best guess would be an egg cup, or a candle holder, but it seems weird for either of those...

I know, right?? I'd never seen the napkin rings before. The odd piece is really too big for a candle and really too big for an egg. It's kind of the size that a medium sized peach would fit into. Very weird.

I had to know, too. Some Google sleuthing confirms they're candle holders. I've never seen any like that! https://www.google.com/search?q=franciscan+desert+rose+candle+holder&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwizpve518zcAhVKyoMKHUsZDKwQ_AUICygC&biw=1706&bih=813

Excellent Googling! And very strange. A long taper would look kind of cool in one, I guess but still.... weird.

I recognized the pattern and did the same thing! Candle-holder, for sure.

Who gives an entire set of Franciscan dinner ware to Goodwill?

Ah well.

[susandennis]

At least Goodwill knew what it was - it was in the Collectibles section instead of the general population :)

Haha I have the other pattern--apple, but this is a lovely set. I think that thing is a planter for a venus flytrap, lol!
