It's kind of an English cottage /Beatrix Potter saga? Peter Rabbit having his tea after working in the garden? His tea set and china would be made to look like carrots and cabbage, right?
My grandmother has a whole set of cabbage dishes! Some are green glazed, some are yellow glazed, and some are just white. She has mugs, plates, bowls, serving platters and terrines. My mom and I always keep an eye out for pieces she might be missing :)
I have these pieces glazed in green and reddish/purple. A cookie jar with a bunny on top, a tea cream pourer, 4 salt/pepper shakers, and something else that matches but I have no idea what it is
@@sabrinamunin2372 oooh I haven’t seen that one! Cabbage ware was a big thing in the US in the 60’s/ 70’s according to Southern living article I saw. Tradition goes back another 100-200 years though with the rise of naturalist forms in the 1800’s
Actually you are looking for the word tureen, not terrine. A terrine is a cold, loaf-like dish served in slices. A tureen is a vessel for serving soups and stews. And I like the look of the cabbage dishes, but they'd never fit in my house. If you inherit grandmother's cabbageware, be aware that there are some very pricey lines out there. The oldest ones come from Europe several hundred years ago. (But people are still making some today.) It is great to see folks keeping such collections alive by hunting down pieces. Very bonding.
I read in an article that naturalistic veggie and fruit ceramics (including cabbage) were very popular during the 18th and 19th century in Europe, especially the UK. With emigration the style spread to many parts of the world and was adapted. There are full dinner sets looking like cabbage leaves. To a modern eye it's wild seeing a table laid out like that.
This reminded me of majolica, and from there to Palissy ware - it would be really fun to see if Shelby could adapt this mold into something like that, with little molded creatures all over :) Palissy ware is more decorative than functional, but you could do a small nod to it by carving or etching animals into the surface of the cast while still soft. Or, you could put a little coiled up snake in the bottom like those mugs that have a little friend waiting for you when you finish your drink!
@@marihagemeyer8166 Shelby should totally try a majolica style even if it’s more simplified! i’ve tried it before and it’s really fun and i think it can easily be adapted to her style
Immediately thought of the Cabbage Cart Man from Avatar the Last Air Bender, and his iconic line "MY CABBAGES". I love these so much, and love the different colors you chose. Thank you for always making my Friday mornings :)
The plates are beautiful! If you put a hole in the middle they can be turned into clocks! If you had a flower mould then small flowers could be attached at the number points! I love them, and love your process. Never put down what you do as boring, it's all part of your development, building on ideas and techniques. Keep going beautiful you make so many people happy x
Wedgewood used to produce a lot of novelty cabbage and cauliflower tea sets, kind of a cottage garden aesthetic I guess. They’re an interesting design but the moulding is quite distinct, so it would be hard to disguise it as anything other than a cabbage. Otherwise I would suggest splashing some fun ombré colours on them and calling them peonies. The little face is charming though! Purple has historically been a difficult colour to reliably produce.
When I was growing up, my grandma had a set of cabbage bowls. i think they where intended for salad. I think the cabage mugs would be cute for a little soup snack.
purple cabbage always makes me think of my Oma (my grandma) who was Austrian and liked to cook red cabbage (blaukraut/rotkorl) with apple sugar and vinegar.
When I was little, we used to visit my great aunts house during the summer. Her house was full of tacky, kitschy stuff all over. Think doilies over chair backs, fake glass fruit in glass door cabinets (the kids were not. allowed. to touch. ever!) filled with other knick knacks like Tito memorial coffee sets - Yugoslavia was wierd in the 80s. But of all of the things in her house, I was obsessed with this giant soup serving bowl that was in her kitchen, never to be used, of course. It was shaped like a whole head of kale, life size, and had a serving spoon shaped like a leaf. It was coloured exactly like the first one you showed and I remember all the white veins in the details. I stared at that bowl for hours on end. When I visited her son and his family last year, we were reminiscing and I mentioned the bowl. To my surprise, they had it laying around somewhere. Obviously they didn't care for it that much, and they offered it to me as a gift. Sadly, it would have been a bit inconvenient for me to lug around a soup bowl after, so I declined. I'm still regretting not taking it! The thing is huge, not my style and it wouldn't fit in with my decor at all, but I still want it so bad!
As soon as I saw it was a cabbage I was like "oh we definitely need a purple/red cabbage set". So happy you made both green and purple sets. Also the face looked super cute.
This reminds me of the old mushroom set I’ve seen people try to collect. I think back in the day there was a lean toward some odd garden aesthetic along the same lines that some people now look for items with a cute or spooky aesthetic.
Yes, was thinking the same. I vaguely remember a lettuce design that's possibly quite famous? IIRC it would be an English designer. I want to say 1920s/30s, but don't quote me - I know nothing about pottery.
I have the full sized cabbage bowl with lid that sits on a cabbage leaf plate that was my great grandmothers. The design is quite old. The 20s sound about right.
I love your enthusiasm even when things don’t turn out exactly how you expect them. What about a little bunny at the bottom of the teacup and on the center of the plate where the cup rests. Bunny in a cabbage patch, maybe?
My mum has a set of cabbage dishes, but there are no cups, and none are as cute as this cabbage teacup! Your videos are always such a lovely way to start the day! Thank you for sharing this journey with us. 😊 Edited for typo.
I have a tomato shaped soup terrine with a onion ladle, so these cups would be perfect to serve the soup in! I am a fan!!! You could also make some little critters (slugs, snails, grasshoppers) and add those to the saucers.
I love the colours you chose to use on them. A single insect like a lady bird, butterfly or dragon fly sitting on a leaf would add a lovely singular pop of colour against the green or red cabbage.
These are so cute! I think the saucer could be interpreted as just leaves too, so you COULD (and should😊) do a strawberry mug that sits on the leaves saucer. It would be adorable. Or just a whole set of fruits and vegetable cups that goes with that cabbage saucer so it's like you got a big harvest and displayed them on leaves!
I love these! I am the happy owner of a very old, full sized ceramic cabbage that is a bowl with a lid on a cabbage leaf plate. It belonged to my great grandmother. The plate is glued back together and he cabbage has clips on the rim but I have loved it since I was little. I bet these are from the same designer.
Thank you for the very nostalgic cabbage dishes! My mother did a bunch of these at the ceramics studio when I was a girl and gave them out as gifts. I always thought they were fun! Great for tea parties with your rabbit and bear soft toys too! So whimsical. Please do not put down your work as boring! Your bubbly energy is always fun, and I hang on every moment of your mould videos! Please dont stop!
It’s cabbage ware pottery it was a huge trend many years ago I think there was also a lettuce ware too around the same time? (Could be wrong tho) I remember these cups and saucers seemingly everywhere as a child
this very much reminds me of the moulded cabbage leaf that my grannie made at pottery class. take one real, gigantic cabbage leaf and imprint it on a sheet of clay, et voila. It is mine now, and I love it, still used to present salad bits at lunch. I think the bibble technique would look really good on these.
Remember the munchkins in the Wizard of Oz? This feels very wizard of Oz to me, the cabbage tea cup, and saucer set. I wonder if you could have like a little mice or ladybugs or frogs attached to the mugs to make them even more fairytale like.?🥰
In Portugal there is a ceramics brand that does vegetable and other food sets and pieces since the XIX century. They are still very popular around here, it's Bordalo Pinheiro, if you want to check it out.
This is such a fun mold, and I love the way the antiquing brought out all the details. You've gotten really good at that! I'm not as much of a fan of the face, maybe because the cabbage pattern is so realistic. If I were going to add something to these, it might be a small ladybug or caterpillar peering out from the leaves.
1983-1985 Cabbage Patch kids were huge. So Cabbage sets make perfect sense. Ironically I knew more adults than kids that collected the dolls. I was a kid at the time.
I love the way the glazes turned out! They are beautiful and the little face is the most precious! I would love to have an entire tea set like this with random cups having faces and a teapot with a face too!
Looking at these, all I can think about is this one friend I knew years ago, whose mother used to collect novelty teapots. I distinctly remember she had a big cabbage-textured teapot that would have looked so good with one of these teacups! If only we were still in touch, she would have loved this video.
This reminds me of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series - there's a throughline in these books about one region being dominated by the brassica industry so they make cabbage beer, cabbage sausage, even cabbage-scented postal stamps 😂
About 40 yes ago I espied a set of cabbage cup & saucers in an high class shop. I had to have them. Scraped up the price and bought them. They have had pide of place in my cabinet ever since and are a real conversation starter.
I love your whimsical style, but I also love the antiquing & glazing approach as well. It takes so much less time out of my day to engage with your videos than it takes you to make both the pieces and the video, so I’m sure you get tired of a technique way faster than I do. :D Honestly, it all feels like magic to me every time, even when it’s “just” antiquing & glazing, and I love seeing how the antiquing brings out the details every time. It almost feels like it’s respecting the effort put in by the original sculptor. So, absolutely do whatever brings your creative fulfillment, but don’t worry about me getting bored with a technique. I enjoy every video!
Hi Shelby, I do agree with you. In the 90's there was a trend in Portugal where some of these vegetable inspired plate en bowls where produced. Actually, I still own some salad bowls that look like melons or gourds. So, yes, lets bring this trend back.
I love them, these are exactly the type of pieces that I look for when I’m thrifting. I want my home to be a color bomb with all kinds of colors and textures and full of quirk
It also reminds of that Wind In The Willows or Beatrix Potter aesthetic, with anthropomorphic animals living in mushroom houses and using a cabbage leaf for their plate, and collecting dew drops inside flower buds. Just adorable!
Just watching this video OMG, my mom used to do ceramics when I was a kid, she made a cabbage candy dish. That looked exactly like this piece. I love this so much.
My mother did a cabbage chip and dip set. My cousin still has the dip bowl but gave me the bigger bowl. Since my mom made these in the 70's, there was a little chipping, and I found a yellow and a green nail polish to cover the tiny chips. A really cute bowl, and I am happy to have it.
Wait. I had to go back and listen again to all the adjectives you used to describe this set: great, cool, fantastic, wonderful, gorgeous, glorious, wacky. LMBO!!! I absolutely love Sporky's friend, Cabbagey! They go together like, well... I don't know but... You have such a great imagination! It's been awhile since you had a week that you went back and made a previous reveal your own, like you said about the pitcher. Look forward to these every week. Thanks for sharing!
These are modeled after Portuguese Cabbage Ware from the famous company Bordallo Pinheiro who make hyper realistic fruit abs vegetable tableware. Also included in their line are mice, snails, birds, etc. Made in Caldas de Rainha, Portugal.
I love the simple clean look of these!! Sometimes it’s just cool to see you do someone clean and simple along with the crazy and cool. I hope there’s a whole set for these I’d love to see the tea pot!!
I love this video. I very much enjoy the videos where you play around and are extra creative. But the fun of this series is seeing what the mold reveals! You finished these beautifully letting the details of the mold be the star.
I was just at a vintage shop today and saw alot of vegetable themed ceramic sets. I saw a tomato teapot! I saw alot cabbage themed pieces as well! I know a girl who collects food themed ceramics! You'd be impressed with all the different foods they make ceramics in the image of!
This is beautiful! Could you try to do some where the green and purple are together? I think they would be GORGEOUS with one as the base color and antiqued with the other! You are fabulous, and I am so enjoying all of your videos! Thank you so much for sharing with us!
Whimsical ideas: Pixies peaking out from behind the leaves, of the cabbage, or a cartoon worm. For the saucer, a wreath of some kind, or one of those flowers with the faces. You always have fun videos, thanks for the weekly content!
Your little cabbage face cracked me up! It actually kinda reminds me of cabbage patch kids, a line of dolls that were out before I was born. Not sure if they were made outside the US though.
They were - we had most the US ones here in New Zealand (next to Australia) but my own doll was a French cabbage patch doll that my Mum found in a shop here. I'm not sure if it was French manufactured or if it was made for the French market (eg: packaging)?
I like the cabbage cups and I think a fun way to bring your illustrative side would be to cover them in tiny veggies! Like carrots, peas, and flowers for fun.
I love these! Great job. My neighbour collects cabbage pieces, so yeah, it’s a real thing. You could always pop on some insects like lady bugs and butterflies 💕
I'm late here Shelby ❤️ but I've been catching up! Im a mushroom fan too, but I also have lots of Carlton Ware vegetable items 💕 Cabbage, melon, woven basket with fruit decorations at the base. And many more. My collection are all sauce jugs with matching saucers and I love them!
i work part time at a store and sometimes we get just the silliest novelty mugs. During valentines we had a grey and purple hedgehog mug with hearts instead of spines (i ended up buying two!) and i have from a fall set an orange fox mug and a pumpkin mug... Needless to say I agree we need more wacky and fun kitchenware in the world
I found sets that look similar to this on Etsy, in line green and baby pink. I was soooo close to buying one but they didn’t post to nz. This piece is so amazing! What a gem, amazing find 💚💜
I really like your color choices and techniques. You could always glaze the inside a wacky color and put your signature flowers on the flat center of the saucer in matching colors
Happy Birthday to me!!! So glad it's also Friday, so I get the gift of another Shelby video!!! 🥰🥰🥰 E: And they're SO CUTE!!! I LOVE THE PURPLE CABBAGE SETS!!! 🤩😍🤩😍
I make pincushions and tjis cabbage set screams pincushion base to me. With some sweet clsy veggie pin heads. When I finally replace my ramshackke garage and set up the kiln left to me by my grandmother who raised me I will be having my own surprise adventure through all of her molds. You make me anxious to get started!
I think it still fits in with your style without the eyes. very much a set I could imagine 2 frogs having a tea party with. Maybe playing with the colors for the antiquing would make it feel more interesting to you like using a blue antiquing to make the greens and purples pop
It's kind of an English cottage /Beatrix Potter saga? Peter Rabbit having his tea after working in the garden? His tea set and china would be made to look like carrots and cabbage, right?
I think it would be cool if you changed the handle to a carrot or added carrots onto the design like you did for the face!
This was exactly my first thought as well 😊
lol thats what i was thinking a bunny set with a cute cabbage tea pot would be so cute
Yes!
My mom has a teapot that looks like a bunny with a carrot which would go perfectly with these teacups
My grandmother has a whole set of cabbage dishes! Some are green glazed, some are yellow glazed, and some are just white. She has mugs, plates, bowls, serving platters and terrines. My mom and I always keep an eye out for pieces she might be missing :)
My grandmother had a cabbage cookie jar!

I love cabbage/veggie dishware. They were popular here in the US a while. It was the ABSOLUTELY cutest in my opinion
My mom owned the Coo Coo Ceramic Shop in the 70s and I poured the molds, this mold was very popular back then as veggies ceramics were very popular
1983-1985 Cabbage Patch kids were huge. So Cabbage sets make perfect sense. Ironically I knew more adults than kids that collected the dolls. I was a kid at the time.

Cabbage isn't what I'd think of to have with tea either, but a good hearty cabbage stew out of a wide-mouthed mug doesn't sound half bad.

I'm actually a big fan of the cabbage look. It's so beautiful to me and I'm loving the way you are painting them ❤
I love them, these are exactly the type of pieces that I look for when I’m thrifting. I want my home to be a color bomb with all kinds of colors and textures and full of quirk

Look forward to these every week. Thanks for sharing!
I like that you did a normal set, I think these pieces are beautiful enough to be shown off as they are
Maximimalism is fun. Colors, textures, and fun stuff everywhere. Your cabbage cups are adorable. Especially like the purple.
These are modeled after Portuguese Cabbage Ware from the famous company Bordallo Pinheiro who make hyper realistic fruit abs vegetable tableware. Also included in their line are mice, snails, birds, etc. Made in Caldas de Rainha, Portugal.
I love the simple clean look of these!! Sometimes it’s just cool to see you do someone clean and simple along with the crazy and cool.
I hope there’s a whole set for these I’d love to see the tea pot!!
I’m absolutely with you on bringing more imaginative pieces back into dinner wear . I love these ones !!!
I love this video. I very much enjoy the videos where you play around and are extra creative. But the fun of this series is seeing what the mold reveals! You finished these beautifully letting the details of the mold be the star.
My nan had a set of these! She used to have a display case with interesting cups and saucers and she had a cabbage one!
You could totally put cabbage soup in there!😮
So stinkin' cute! My Babcia would have LOVED this set. Great choice to paint & wipe, really makes the leaf shapes pop!
I love the purple cabbage set the most. Although the set with the face is adorable!
I am just living for these moulds! They appeal so much to my weird and wonderful sense of the quirky
I never get bored with your mould reveals! It’s fun to see your creatively and the history of some pottery styles and kitschy pieces!!
You could paint little caterpillars and ladybugs and afids on the cabbages.
Or tiny ants like there invading a picnic
One of the big English ceramic companies did a “cabbage “ range
Royal Doulton? , Coal Port? , Wedgwood?
All three? 🤪
I agree, I would love to have a complete set of plates in different colors and textures, these turned out beutiful 😊
They would look wonderful with bees, butterflies and moths! What a wonderful piece!
I was just at a vintage shop today and saw alot of vegetable themed ceramic sets. I saw a tomato teapot! I saw alot cabbage themed pieces as well! I know a girl who collects food themed ceramics! You'd be impressed with all the different foods they make ceramics in the image of!
Everytime Shelby mentions the 70's being so old, I get "offended" 🤣🤣🤣 Then I remember, I was born in the middle of the 70's, I'm 47, I AM old! 😂 😂 😂
Too funny to have a cabbage teacup, love the face on the cup too! 🥰
I need these in my life, you dont get much more cottagecore than this 😍
I love this mold. It's a bit weird at first but the cottage core vibes are great.
I like that you made regular and purple cabbage.
I like all of your art styles and actually really like to see how you can do all types of styles. You do you!
You really make my Friday mornings, Shelby! This is SO adorable! We had a cabbage platter when I was a kid. I almost forgot about it lol
So beautiful! !perfect for cabbage soup too such a beautiful set !!
This is beautiful! Could you try to do some where the green and purple are together? I think they would be GORGEOUS with one as the base color and antiqued with the other! You are fabulous, and I am so enjoying all of your videos! Thank you so much for sharing with us!
Whimsical ideas: Pixies peaking out from behind the leaves, of the cabbage, or a cartoon worm. For the saucer, a wreath of some kind, or one of those flowers with the faces. You always have fun videos, thanks for the weekly content!
Love the mold, love the glaze - and the wacky face on that mug is cute!❤
They kind of look like flowers too!!! You could do colorful flower cups and green saucers. Also these are obviously for a fairy to use
Your little cabbage face cracked me up! It actually kinda reminds me of cabbage patch kids, a line of dolls that were out before I was born. Not sure if they were made outside the US though.
They were - we had most the US ones here in New Zealand (next to Australia) but my own doll was a French cabbage patch doll that my Mum found in a shop here. I'm not sure if it was French manufactured or if it was made for the French market (eg: packaging)?
These are crazy cute, I really love the purple glaze. Its amazing.
I like the cabbage cups and I think a fun way to bring your illustrative side would be to cover them in tiny veggies! Like carrots, peas, and flowers for fun.
I think this cabbage set is adorable omg.
This is my favorite mold so far!!! ❤️ Oh my goodness, I want those in my kitchen!
I love these! Great job. My neighbour collects cabbage pieces, so yeah, it’s a real thing. You could always pop on some insects like lady bugs and butterflies 💕
I'm late here Shelby ❤️ but I've been catching up!
Im a mushroom fan too, but I also have lots of Carlton Ware vegetable items 💕
Cabbage, melon, woven basket with fruit decorations at the base. And many more.
My collection are all sauce jugs with matching saucers and I love them!
i work part time at a store and sometimes we get just the silliest novelty mugs. During valentines we had a grey and purple hedgehog mug with hearts instead of spines (i ended up buying two!) and i have from a fall set an orange fox mug and a pumpkin mug... Needless to say I agree we need more wacky and fun kitchenware in the world
I found sets that look similar to this on Etsy, in line green and baby pink. I was soooo close to buying one but they didn’t post to nz. This piece is so amazing! What a gem, amazing find 💚💜
They are so adorable! Love the purple, even though it's not as red as purple cabbage.
Love Love Love the cabbage cups and saucers… beautiful
In the states, I see lots of vegetable dishes. Cabbages lend themselves to different shapes. I love this cups and saucers!
Fabulous! I have a lettuce leaf dip bowl with 3 sections and a little cherry tomato! They were quite a novelty in the Uk once upon a time!
The face is ADORABLE!! Love it!
I really like your color choices and techniques. You could always glaze the inside a wacky color and put your signature flowers on the flat center of the saucer in matching colors
Happy Birthday to me!!! So glad it's also Friday, so I get the gift of another Shelby video!!! 🥰🥰🥰
E: And they're SO CUTE!!! I LOVE THE PURPLE CABBAGE SETS!!! 🤩😍🤩😍
It would be cute to see a rainbow set of these! As always, great work!
Im in love with these!! The purple ones are delicious looking.
These are gorgeous! I love the glazing technique for these textured pieces.
How lovely and unique ! I loved hearing your conversation and explanations. Cheeky little cabbage 😜
The mugs with the faces are so cute ; you can have the plane side facing the person and then they turn it around there is a cute face smiling at you.
Obsessed with these!! The purple is my favorite!
These videos bring me joy
This is the cutest Cup and saucer!
Absolutely ADORABLE.
I make pincushions and tjis cabbage set screams pincushion base to me. With some sweet clsy veggie pin heads. When I finally replace my ramshackke garage and set up the kiln left to me by my grandmother who raised me I will be having my own surprise adventure through all of her molds. You make me anxious to get started!
I love the purple ones! The saucers almost look like flowers.
I think it still fits in with your style without the eyes. very much a set I could imagine 2 frogs having a tea party with. Maybe playing with the colors for the antiquing would make it feel more interesting to you like using a blue antiquing to make the greens and purples pop
I had an antique Wedgwood teacup and saucer in cabbage shapes. They were a beautiful green.
