Pattern Profile:
Desert Blossom, Windsor Rose (1984); Misty Morning (1985)

In the Expressions line, Desert Blossom and Windsor Rose seem to have been launched in 1984.  Misty Morning was introduced in 1985, and it is the final pattern in this product line.  All three patterns are decorated in subtle pink and peach tones, taking cues from fine china patterns.

Desert Blossom: luncheon plate & dinner plate.

Bowls and saucers were decorated only with a coloured band, and the closed-handle cups, creamers and sugar bowls are made of Centura.  Desert Blossom, Windsor Rose and Misty Morning were discontinued early 1986 with the rest of the Expressions line.

Windsor Rose: cream & sugar set (lid not shown).
