The history of cabbage ware

Like so many objects we know, love and use every day, cabbage ware has a fascinating history that goes back further than one might think. As cited in a 2021 Southern Living article, Sotheby’s porcelain and ceramics specialist Suzanne Harrison told the Wall Street Journal in 2013: “Pottery and porcelain table wares in naturalistic forms such as fruits and vegetables were widely produced in England and Europe throughout the 18th and 19th centuries.”

We love the well-known Portuguese pottery brand Borallo Pinheiro for their cabbage offering as well as their other lifelike fruits and veggies (not to mention an abundance of other gorgeous ceramics for the home). The brand, created by political cartoonist-turnedceramicist Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro, has been producing the beloved pieces since 1884.

A bit closer to home, American artist and “The Pottery Queen of Palm Beach” Dodie Thayer began creating similarly inspired tableware in the 1960s by hand in her home studio, gaining fans and a following that included Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Brooke Astor, Frank and Barbara Sinatra, and the Duchess of Windsor.

When we place them on our tables and shelves today, these piece remain just as timeless and adored. This time of year, I like to mix cabbage with other farm-fresh pieces like the tomatoes shown here. Dress them up with crisp white linens and silverware for a ladies lunch, or down with block print napkins and wooden chargers for a meeting with the garden club. You just can’t style these yummy pieces wrong!

Styling your tabletop with cabbage ware

Looking to incorporate a healthy dose of leafy greens into your tablescape designs? Cabbage ware mixes surprisingly well with other china and a plethora of other colors and textures.

This sweet look is a perfect example of the timeless elegance of cabbage ware. In this design, the addition of decorative cabbages and a similarly colored green container doubles down on the organic elements, lending to a feeling of freshness that lasts season over season — namely, without feeling too springy. Definitely not born for a supporting role, cabbage ware is leading lady material. Don’t consider the tabletop to be the only way to show off your cabbage dishes. We love to incorporate ours into curio and cabinet vignettes — they are just as beautiful as they are functional, after all. Even Oprah has been spotted loving the cabbage look — a cabinet full of cabbage and lettuce ware is on display in the background of a post she shared in early 2021 while working at home. Wherever you buy it, there’s no denying that the luxe, leafy ceramics will forever be in style — an heirloom-worthy investment that will elevate your table for years to come.

A farm fresh vignette filled with decorative serveware is a beautiful way to style a curio. The pop of red in these tomatoes is a sweet add to the monochromatic green. The texture and lifelike details are what make cabbage ware so whimsical and fun.
