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