Sears Petite Flora 4009 Coupe Soup Bowls 1970s Set of 2

This Sears Petite Flora 4009 coupe soup bowl set includes two vintage 1970s ironstone bowls made in Japan with the familiar green, yellow, and orange floral pattern.

I like these for someone filling gaps in a Petite Flora dinnerware set or looking for shallow bowls that work for soup, cereal, salad, or side dishes.

The softly scalloped rims and repeating floral vines give them a cheerful 1970s look without feeling overly busy.

Collector's Notes

1. Petite Flora 4009 is a Japanese ironstone dinnerware pattern associated with Sears and the floral tableware styles popular during the 1970s.
2. This pair makes sense for someone replacing missing bowls or adding usable pieces to an existing Petite Flora service.
3. Both bowls carry matching printed Petite Flora 4009 backstamps, which makes the identification straightforward.
4. You will like that these are still useful everyday pieces while keeping the recognizable green and yellow look of the original dinnerware.
