Floraline Pottery was first produced by McCoy in the 1940's and then again in the 1960's as Roseville Floraline. It was sold exclusively to retail florists in the 60's.
Some of the pieces from the 1940's are marked USA, but most of them simply said 'Floraline'. If the piece was made by Lancaster Colony, an LC will be visible and MPC would indicate that Mt. Clemons Pottery was the creator.
Three or more makes a nice collection, but a mass of the uniformly colored pieces makes a stunning display. The grayed olive-green color looks impressive and elegant against wall mounted shelves in pure white. Pieces have the look of vintage pottery, which gives instant country appeal to any room.

White pottery is more expensive and harder to find.
Green Pottery is easier to find and cheaper than the popular White Pottery, so can be a more affordable collection to amass. Your flea market finds might include these pieces, now that you know what to look for. Also search for it in secondhand stores and antiques malls. Finding unique Floraline pottery pieces on eBay would be my preferred method of treasure hunting! Ebay is always a great resource when browsing for antiques.
Don't forget about garage sales. Many sellers don't even realize what they've got and you may be able to grab a treasure for pennies!
Now that you know about the green Floraline Pottery, keep your eyes open for these decorating accessories with country style. You just might find it to be a one-of-a-kind addition to an area of your home. Oh, and your guests will be green with envy!
