Vintage "Brown Floral" Pattern Ceramic Dinnerware Collection

This is a collection of vintage ceramic dinnerware, likely from the late 20th century, possibly the 1970s or 1980s, given its style. The set features a creamy beige or ecru base color with a distinctive brown floral motif. The design appears to be a stylized folk-art inspired pattern, present on all visible pieces, including a large pitcher, a lidded sugar bowl, a lidded creamer or small teapot, several mugs/cups, and a rectangular tray. The patterns on the larger pieces, such as the pitcher and the tallest lidded pot (likely a coffee pot), are more elaborate and centrally placed, depicting a cluster of floral elements and leaves. Smaller pieces have a simpler, repetitive pattern. The craftsmanship appears to be sturdy and utilitarian, characteristic of stoneware or similar ceramic materials. The pieces have a slightly textured, matte finish, though some areas, particularly the rims of the cups and the edges of the tray, show a subtle darker brown or gold-colored band, suggesting a glazed finish or intentional accent. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear captured in the image, indicating good condition or careful storage. The overall aesthetic suggests a country-chic or rustic appeal, popular during its period. No manufacturer's marks or discernible signatures are visible in the provided image. The handles on the pitcher and teapots appear solid and well-integrated into the body of the pieces, pointing to decent quality in production.
