If you were around in the late '80s and early '90s, you probably remember a quirky product from tableware company Lenox: Spice Village, a set of 24 porcelain spice jars designed to look like miniature cottages. Lenox introduced the set in 1989 and discontinued it in 1993. In 2022, at the height of the cottagecore design craze, a TikToker found a full Spice Village set at a thrift store and the kitschy, vintage decor pieces saw a huge resurgence. Now, with original sets going for thousands of dollars online, Lenox has announced that Spice Village is back, and is now available for pre-order.
That's right — now, you can buy tiny townhouses and chalets for your ginger and rosemary, straight from the original manufacturer. Individual Spice Village jars are available for pre-sale for $15 each, while sets of six are $72. The full set will cost a cool $285, but that honestly seems like a steal for the amount of joy and whimsy it will bring to your kitchen. Another important Spice Village note - the individual jars and sets of six have ship days ranging from November to next March. The full Village is slated for shipments starting September 15.
In this article: Lenox Spice Village 24-Jar Full Collection, Lenox Spice Village 6-Piece Spice Jar Set #1 and Lenox Spice Village 6-Piece Spice Jar Set #2.
Lenox Spice Village 24-Jar Full Collection
The full 24-jar Lenox Spice Village is available for $285 on pre-order, but if you multiply the 24 jars that includes by the single-jar price of $15 each, you are definitely saving some cash. If owning the whole set is important to you, this is the best and most cost-effective way to do it. Put it on your Christmas list or gift it to yourself - either way, you have a future family heirloom coming to your kitchen.
