Petite Flora Ironstone 4009 Dinner Plate Japan 1970s

This Petite Flora Ironstone 4009 dinner plate is a 1970s floral dinnerware piece made in Japan, with the pattern and number clearly printed on the back.

You will like this pattern because it has a very recognizable 1970s kitchen look without feeling too busy. Green vines, yellow and orange flowers, an ivory background, and the softly scalloped rim give it plenty of color while still making it easy to mix with plain cream or green dishes.

Issues / Wear

Collector's Notes

1. Petite Flora is associated with Sears dinnerware from the 1970s and was made in Japan.
2. This is a useful choice for someone replacing a missing dinner plate or adding pieces to an existing Petite Flora set.
3. The 4009 pattern number and clear backstamp make this plate much easier to match than an unmarked floral plate.
4. It also works well for someone who simply likes the green and yellow kitchen colors that showed up so often in the 1970s.
