Ever since avid collector Martha Stewart showcased her extensive jadeite collection and identified herself as a die-hard fan of the quintessentially retro, milky-green glassware that was a kitchen staple in the 1940s and ’50s, I became one, too.
Up until now, my personal collection was made up of pieces culled from antique shops, estate sales, and Etsy searches — but I just stumbled across a new, inexpensive, heirloom-looking serving set at Walmart, of all places.
While the set certainly isn’t a replacement for the real-deal vintage variety, it’s a perfect compromise for anyone who wants to cultivate a throwback tablescape without the sometimes crazy prices or the time-consuming the flea-market hunt.
The three-piece set consists of a butter dish and matching lid that measure a little over eight inches in length, a sugar bowl and lid that stand about five inches high, and a slightly-taller creamer for keeping your milk of choice at the ready.
The set feels like a steal at less than $30 — definitely “cheaper than real jadeite,” as one reviewer pointed out. (For comparison purposes, we found a kinda-similar single butter dish on Etsy for $65.) Multiple reviewers commented on the pieces’ sturdy design and antique feel.
Clearly I’m not the only one who’s happily scooped up this beautiful set, but feel free to read on if you need a few more multi-star incentives. Or you could skip ahead and add straight to cart — and maybe consider adding the matching cake stand and 3-piece table setting set while you’re at it.
