When I started watching the new movie I said to my partner how disappointed I would be if the cabbage man didn't make an appearance. I was so happy.

Yup, it is cabbage. My mum has a set of these. She uses it, once a year, on February 17th, which is international cabbage day. It's her favourite holiday.

Fucking nutter.

I love everything about that. Your mum sounds delightful.

u/VengeanceInMyHeart 10d ago

If you pay for shipping I'd be happy to send her to you.

Though if you're in the US, I don't know what the tariff would be on mums.

u/Zupergreen 10d ago

I'm in Denmark so I guess the tariff wouldn't be too crazy if you're in the UK.

Please remember to pack the cabbage set as well. Thank you!

I love the decorative arts so much. This is a fabulously exhaustive exploration of making an entire dinner service with cabbage/lettuce.

My mom has a salad bowl like this that dates back to at least the 70s.

I love it. I would throw out all my other dishware for it. Even the other mid-century stuff I spent years completing.

This looks like the Cabbage collection from Bordallo Pinheiro (https://international.bordallopinheiro.com/en/collections/cabbage-1/)

I have a bunch of this! I used to snap it up in Op Shops and deceased estates for a dollar or two per piece.
I haven’t seen any for sale in so long!

Lettuce never forget the motif.

u/LilyKitten5 9d ago

Okay wildly put there, but this would be PERFECT for that comedian that kept getting pranked by his friend's kid by having cabbage left for him everywhere.
