English Majolica Cabbage Butter or Cheese Dish with Tomato Finial, circa 1920s
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
A charming English majolica butter dish or cheese dish modeled as a crisp green cabbage leaf and topped with a vibrant red tomato finial. This whimsical ceramic piece embodies the enduring appeal of English majolica tableware, celebrated for its richly colored glazes and naturalistic forms. Produced in England during the early to mid-20th century, the dish features deeply molded cabbage leaves rendered in brilliant green glazes with subtle tonal variations and realistic veining. The removable domed lid is crowned with a sculptural tomato and foliage finial, creating a delightful garden-inspired presentation. The underside bears a "Made in England" mark, consistent with many English majolica and cottage-industry ceramic productions of the period. Pieces such as this were designed to bring a touch of whimsy and country-house charm to the breakfast table and remain highly sought after by collectors and interior designers alike. Today, cabbageware continues to be favored by tastemakers for its ability to blend effortlessly into English country, Palm Beach, traditional, maximalist, and garden-inspired interiors. This piece works beautifully: Displayed on open kitchen shelving alongside copper cookware and antique transferware...

Ceramic, Stoneware
Whether you’re adding an eye-catching mid-century modern glazed stoneware bowl to your dining table or grouping a collection of decorative plates by color for the shelving in your living room, decorating and entertaining with antique and vintage ceramics is a great way to introduce provocative pops of colors and textures to a space or family meals.
Ceramics, which includes pottery such as earthenware and stoneware, has had meaningful functional value in civilizations all over the world for thousands of years. When people began to populate permanent settlements during the Neolithic era, which saw the rapid growth of agriculture and farming, clay-based ceramics were fired in underground kilns and played a greater role as important containers for dry goods, water, art objects and more.
Today, if an Art Deco floor vase, adorned in bright polychrome glazed colors with flowers and geometric patterns, isn’t your speed, maybe minimalist ceramics can help you design a room that’s both timeless and of the moment. Mixing and matching can invite conversation and bring spirited contrasts to your outdoor dining area. The natural-world details enameled on an Art Nouveau vase might pair well with the sleek simplicity of a modern serving bowl, for example.
In your kitchen, your cabinets are likely filled with ceramic dinner plates. You’re probably serving daily meals on stoneware dishes or durable sets of porcelain or bone china, while decorative ceramic dishes may be on display in your dining room. Perhaps you’ve anchored a group of smaller pottery pieces on your mantelpiece with some taller vases and vessels, or a console table in your living room is home to an earthenware bowl with a decorative seasonal collection of leaves, greenery and acorns.
Regardless of your tastes, however, it’s possible that ceramics are already in use all over your home and outdoor space. If not, why? Whatever your needs may be, find a wide range of antique and vintage ceramics on 1stDibs.
