Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! Today I'm sharing a set of four lovely Arcopal France plates I scored at Goodwill. I was instantly drawn to the delicate pink floral design of this French Florentine pattern

The milky opaque glass is what I have come to think of as the "French Corelle." I was thrilled to score the four dinner plates for $1 each during one of Goodwill's colored tag sales!

The discontinued pattern was manufactured in France during the 1970s. Here you can see a closer view of the beautiful design and the Arcopal France backstamp.

Oh, just love these plates! Very charming!
ReplyDeleteOh what a fun find, they are lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove these plates and would have snapped them right up! xo Kathleen
ReplyDeleteI have a stack of Arcopal dinner plates with the forget me nots on them (you had a set of the cups several years ago). I use mine daily and just love them. They haven't chipped or broken (although I have chipped edges of another pattern's cereal bowl. They take a lot of hard usage with no problem. I would love to see yours with some of your Jadeite!
