Sears Petit Flora 4009 Chop Plate Round Serving Platter 1970s

This Sears Petit Flora 4009 chop plate is a vintage 1970s ironstone round serving platter made in Japan with green, yellow, and orange floral decoration.

The softly scalloped rim and winding floral pattern give it the familiar green and yellow look of this Sears dinnerware without making it feel overly formal.

Collector's Notes

1. Sears sold Petit Flora as part of its late 1970s dinnerware line, and the pattern is identified by its small yellow and orange flowers, green leaves, and ivory ironstone body.
2. This round serving piece suits someone filling out an existing Petit Flora service or replacing a missing platter.
3. The backstamp identifies pattern number 4009, Japan manufacture, and the dishwasher safe and oven proof features.
4. You will like that this larger serving form carries the full floral pattern across both the center and border, so it reads clearly as Petit Flora on the table.
