A fun set of six 1930s Portuguese cabbage leaf bowls with lids.
Portuguese cabbage ware is a distinctive style of earthenware inspired by the humble cabbage leaf. Originating in Portugal in the nineteenth century, it features richly moulded veins, curled edges, and glossy green glazes that mimic fresh foliage.
Artisans traditionally used the design for everyday tableware, including bowls, plates, and serving dishes, celebrating rural life and local agriculture. The ware became popular beyond Portugal, especially in Britain and North America, where it symbolised rustic charm.
Today, Portuguese cabbage ware is prized by collectors and designers for its craftsmanship, durability, and lively, sculptural presence on the table in contemporary homes worldwide today.
