While fall was still a glimmer on the horizon, our team began dreaming of the many autumnal traditions that center around food. Those recipes and flavors we love so much that we might start enjoying them before the season arrives. (We won’t tell if you do, too.) Our kitchens become the place to be during these months. So we wanted to design a batch of tools, bakeware, serving dishes, and more that could help us find new ways to return to familiar rhythms. After all, even in ritual and routine, fresh discoveries await.
That brings us to our Cottage Collection, curated to embrace culinary creativity, grounded in character and charm. Here, we’re sharing what inspired its colorful look—plus a few of our favorite pieces—so you can find the right ones to add to your collection at home.
Going Green
Above: Our team’s mood board + inspiration for the Cottage Collection, featuring images from Round Top and Jo's butler's pantry.
The most distinctive thing about this collection is its color. A forest-inspired tone appears throughout the assortment as a nod to our signature 1905 Green. Jo and the team immediately gravitated toward this palette—knowing that green can often serve as a neutral that brings a space to life. The exact shade of green varies throughout (with pops of golden ochre and white) to keep from “matching” while still looking cohesive. These differences create an impression of being passed down through generations. We also played with textures on the ceramics—layering in a stripe or speckled glaze to reflect vintage finds.
“We scoured our Round Top photos, studied the butler's pantry at the Castle, and combed through some of Jo's favorite vintage finds...to create an assortment that feels collected over time.”—Casey Green, VP of Product Design + Development
Noteworthy Pieces
As you explore this collection, here are a few favorites we’d recommend taking note of...
The Cottage Collection Forest Green Baking Dish with Lid
This baking dish goes from the oven to the table beautifully. The ribbed texture gives it an heirloom feel, worthy of the recipes you hold most dearly.
The Cottage Collection Forest Green Striped Mixing Bowl Set
These bowls add subtle color to the mix. We love the retro look of the bold green stripes—and how these pieces nest together for easy storage.
Forest Green Speckle Spoon Rest
Here’s a pretty landing place for spoons, whisks, and all the rest of your cooking utensils. The elegant edges stand out even more thanks to its woodsy green hue.
This little bowl brings a lot of joy with its golden glaze that pairs well with the forest green version, too. Use it as a pinch bowl for salt and spices—or to serve small bites.
The Cottage Collection Forest Green Scalloped Pie Dish
Serve up your favorite seasonal pies with this delightful dish. The dramatic scalloped detailing and speckled finish are sure to impress your guests, however you slice it.
Classic + Collected
When designing this capsule of kitchen staples, we also considered how we could style it with other essentials on the countertop. The natural charm and vintage feel of the Cottage Collection complements warm materials like walnut wood and copper. Together, these pieces create a classic and collected look that stands the test of time.
We believe the items we reach for while cooking can set the tone for time well spent in the kitchen. Whether a delightful hue or nostalgic pattern, it’s the elements like these that inspire us to savor the little things, noticing details we might otherwise miss. For everyday beauty—and memorable meals—bring home pieces from our Cottage Collection and prepare for the familiar flavors in store this fall.
