A dinner plate that looks like it came from a French country house: soft artichoke green stoneware with a vintage floral print around the rim.

The pattern recalls old French transferware, romantic without being fussy. The plate measures just over ten inches across, has a pleasing weight in the hand, and goes in the dishwasher and microwave.

For the couple registering for plates that look inherited. For the host ready to retire plain white. For your own table, one quiet color at a time.
