When you think of heirloom-quality china and kitchenware, Lenox is likely one of the first brands that comes to mind. Lenox has been making elegant and timeless dishes, glasses, and the like since 1889, and over time many of the brand’s styles have become particularly iconic collector’s items.
One item in particular is a beloved fan-favorite: Spice Village. After being sold out for months, Spice Village is finally back in stock. But if you’ve been itching to bring home a set of your own, you’ll want to add it to your cart ASAP because it won’t be in stock for long.
Spice Village, a set of 24 spice jars, happens to be one of the most highly coveted pieces in the world of Lenox. Originally introduced in 1989, it has amassed quite the loyal following over the years — so much so, that after being out of production it was relaunched last year. Unsurprisingly, it sold out fast. But now it’s back, and the demand just proves that quality pieces really do withstand the test of time.
What’s in the collection, you ask? Well, it’s made up of 24 adorable porcelain spice jars that are crafted to look like small storybook-inspired buildings. When you line them up beside each other, it looks like a tiny little village — made of spices! Each one is hand-painted, and the lids have rubber gaskets that give an airtight seal, which keeps your spices fresh.
The spice jars included in the collection are made to hold the most common seasonings, including rosemary, oregano, basil, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, garlic, saffron, bay, tarragon, ginger, thyme, parsley, marjoram, mustard, clove, coriander, sage, paprika, onion, chive, pepper, celery, and dill. Each one holds five ounces, and they’re easy to refill. One set comes with all 24 jars, and it retails for $299.
If you’ve never purchased anything from Lenox before, you can’t go wrong with Spice Village. It’s been a classic for 35 years, and it likely won’t ever go out of style. Why not add a little storybook charm to your kitchen? You’ll be able to pass it on to generations to come.
