There are a few things that we Southerners will never abandon, no matter which way the trending tide flows. A pricey piece of cookware could never replace a tried-and-true cast-iron skillet, just as a plain set of dishes couldn’t come close to the sentimental value of beloved cabbageware. The vintage dinnerware, as quirky and unique as it may be, is seeing a resurgence in popularity again, even though it has lovingly stuck around Southern households for several decades. Whether you want to add to your heirloom cabbageware collection or start a collection of your own, we found a variety of pieces to adorn your table, with picks starting at just $9.

Each bowl is made from durable ceramic that is microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe, and features hand-painted details in shades of green and white to resemble the look of real cabbage leaves. “I have a small fortune worth of the ‘real thing' cabbage plates that I have collected over the years but recently broke a couple of bowls,” one five-star shopper wrote, adding, “I decided to give these a try and am so happy! The quality is great.”
$180 at Amazon Bordallo Pinheiro cabbageware may be an investment, but it’s a worthwhile one. This set of dinner plates will stay in your family for years to come thanks to its premium design and high-quality material. “I have loved and collected these dishes for 30 years. They are still so fresh,” one five-star reviewer shared. The plates are made in Portugal and are constructed with long-lasting earthenware (a type of ceramic) that is both microwave and dishwasher safe for easy use and cleanup. Each piece is carefully hand painted to capture the natural look of cabbage leaves, making them a sure showstopper on your dining table.
$50 at Mackenzie-childs.com These darling salt and pepper shakers are a must have on your Easter tablescape, though you can keep them out year round because they’re that adorable. The set of ceramic shakers features two bunnies, dressed up in MacKenzie-Childs’ iconic Courtly Check pattern, that stand atop a head of cabbage. The design of the shakers is enough to tug at your heart strings, but they also have magnetized noses, so when placed side by side they look like they’re kissing. A final five-star shopper praised the vibrant, hand-painted coloring of the shakers, and called them “adorable, just too cute.”
