Trends come and go, influencers chase fleeting fads, and sometimes, what’s old becomes new again. For those of us who fill our homes with secondhand finds and antique shop treasures, older pieces hold a certain romance and charm. Vintage dinnerware sets and dining room table décor bring warmth and nostalgia to our otherwise modern lives, and there’s something undeniably beautiful about that. That’s why those with a sentimental streak are thrilled about the latest (yet vintage) trend in spring dining and décor — cabbageware.
Even if you’re unfamiliar with the name, you’ve likely spotted a piece or two — perhaps tucked away in your mom’s pantry or sitting on a thrift store shelf. Cabbageware, as the name suggests, is dinnerware designed to resemble cabbage leaves. Once a staple in homes alongside other fruit- and vegetable-themed dishes, it eventually faded from popularity, making way for sleeker, more minimalist tableware. But thanks to social media, cabbageware is making a comeback—and we couldn’t be more excited. Here are some of our favorite modern takes on this nostalgic trend.
