Southern Living Cabbage Ware Collection |
Cabbage ware, also called lettuce ware, is highly collectible and has been for decades. Tory Burch has a wonderful collection she did in collaboration with Dodie Thayer's estate. Dodie was an American artisan and entrepreneur and her story is remarkable. Her ancestors helped settle Palm Beach where she taught herself how to mold pottery from lettuce and cabbage leaves.
Legendary hostesses from C.Z. Guest and the Duchess of Windsor to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis collected her signature lettuce/cabbage ware. Mario Buatta's collection sold at auction for $48,000.
Cabbage ware is very popular this season. It is the essence of Spring and is perfect for setting the Easter table.
