Petite Flora Ironstone 4009 Dinner Plate Japan 1970s

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

The photographed plate is intact, with a clear floral pattern and a readable backstamp. Light surface and utensil wear shows when it catches the light, and a faint fine line on the underside near the left side could be a surface mark, glaze line, or hairline; the photos do not confirm which.

Green vines, yellow and orange flowers, an ivory background, and a softly scalloped rim give it a 1970s kitchen look that mixes easily with plain cream or green dishes.
