California sunshine in ceramic form. This authentic Franciscan Ware Coronado Swirl relish dish is manufactured by the Californian Gladding, McBean & Co., and is a charming piece of mid-century American pottery history. Its pastel butter yellow glaze, diagonal ribbed swirls, and curled scroll handle is as cheerful and distinctive today as when it was first introduced in 1936.
