This Vintage Dinnerware Style Is Back—Here’s How to Get It on a Budget
Published on Feb. 20, 2025
Well, you know what they say: What’s old is new again. And in the kitchen decor world, nostalgia is having a major moment. Goodbye, neutrals and sterile white kitchens. It’s now trendy to infuse your space with color and personality, whether that’s through a #cottagecore Lenox spice village or a cheery KitchenAid stand mixer. Heck, we’ve even seen ’90s goose kitchens make a comeback!
In spring 2025, a delightfully timeless style you may remember from grandma’s kitchen is once again popular: cabbage dinnerware. Here’s what you need to know about the leafy revival—including where to snag it on a budget.
What is cabbage dinnerware?
Cabbageware is true to its name. It’s dinnerware pieces—like plates and serving platters—that look like textured, leafy cabbage. Fruit- and veggie-inspired ceramics are nothing new, but they became popular in the U.S. during the 1960s. Since then, popularity has ebbed and flowed
Portuguese ceramics brand Bordallo Pinheiro produces some of the most well-known cabbageware pieces. Each item, whether it’s a dinner plate or pitcher, is crafted by skilled artisans and hand-painted. This quality comes at a price, with pieces starting at $30 and only going up from there. A 12-piece dinnerware set, for example, costs just shy of $400.
Where to Buy Cabbage Dinnerware on a Budget
Given the price, I spend a lot of time at thrift stores hunting for cabbageware. And while, of course, it’s still satisfying to score a vintage piece for just a few bucks, cabbage dinnerware’s growing popularity is making it harder to score. If your patience is running thin—keep reading.
You can find an assortment of cabbage dinnerware, including cabbage plates, at Target. Prices range from $4 to $15 per item—which is an absolute steal. Plus, the quality is impeccable. I got a firsthand look at my local store and was shocked at the heft of the stoneware and vibrant green glaze. They’re a must for your spring and Easter tablescapes. Act fast, though. The top pieces are already selling out.
