This is a vintage Portuguese majolica cabbage ware tureen with matching underplate, beautifully molded in a naturalistic cabbage leaf form. This sculptural serving piece features layered leaf detailing throughout the bowl, lid, and plate, with a softly glazed white finish that highlights the intricate relief pattern.
Inspired by the iconic vegetable-form ceramics of the Caldas da Rainha pottery tradition in Portugal, cabbage ware became a beloved motif for tableware and decorative serving pieces in the 20th century.
This example includes the original fitted lid with sculpted leaf handle and a matching underplate, making it ideal for serving soup or as a decorative centerpiece in a French country, Palm Beach, or traditional dining setting. The glossy white glaze offers a versatile neutral palette that complements both classic and contemporary interiors.
A wonderful addition to a cabbage ware collection or a striking standalone statement piece for a kitchen, dining room, or display cabinet.
The plate is 11.5” w
The bowl is 9.5” w and 6” h alone
