What is cabbage ware?

1 Answer
What is cabbage ware?
Cabbage ware is a type of dinnerware that looks like folded lettuce leaves. While porcelain goods that took on the form of lettuce and cabbage produced by Meissen were popular in pre-20th-century Europe, a Florida-born artist named Dodie Thayer later popularized these ceramics in the United States with a whimsical line of dishes, cups and serveware. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of lettuce ware.
