Franciscan Starburst Atomic Dinnerware Set Museum Grade 44pc Ultra Rare Mint

A once-in-a-lifetime find. This is a museum-grade, estate-preserved 44-piece Franciscan Starburst collection in shockingly pristine condition. Nearly every piece looks untouched — no utensil marks, no fading, no crazing, and brilliantly bright atomic turquoise and chartreuse bursts. The only exception is the divided vegetable bowl, which shows light utensil marks and one small interior chip. Everything else is as close to mint as mid-century dinnerware gets. Sets of this size and condition simply do not hit the open market. Collectors hold onto them for life. Museums display them. Designers hunt for individual pieces. And here is a complete, cohesive, ultra-clean Starburst collection preserved together for more than 60 years. This is the largest and finest-condition Starburst set we have ever seen offered online.
