Know before you buy
Each place setting consists of a dinner plate, a salad plate, a 5 3/4-inch coupe cereal bowl, and a 4 1/4-inch mug.
This collection is crafted from earthenware, which offers a substantial, artisanal feel. While durable for daily use, earthenware is more porous than porcelain or stoneware and should be handled with care to prevent chipping.
The pattern is defined by its signature green colorway and a distinctive scalloped edge design. The pieces feature a coupe shape, which provides a smooth, modern silhouette that complements the traditional scalloped detailing.
To preserve the finish and integrity of vintage earthenware, we recommend hand washing rather than using a dishwasher. Avoid extreme temperature changes, such as moving the pieces directly from a cold refrigerator to a hot oven, to prevent thermal shock.
The classic green hue and scalloped edges of Flora Verde make it an excellent choice for layering. It pairs beautifully with neutral white stoneware or textured linens to create a curated, eclectic table setting.
