The Lenox Spice Village is Martha Stewart-Approved – 'The Set Adds a Decorative Touch To One’s Kitchen Throughout the Season and All Year Long'
Whimsical and charming, the highly collectible Lenox Spice Village is one worth investing in, says homemaking icon Martha Stewart
A much-loved household staple, Lenox Village spice jars are one of those charming (slightly kitsch) classics found on kitchen shelves across the country.
When they first debuted in 1989, the adorable houses didn't take long to catch on, quickly becoming highly prized kitchen decorations lovingly collected piece by piece. To the joy of many of us, Lenox recently brought back the complete Spice Village 24-Piece Spice Jar Set, and after seeing homemaking legend Martha Stewart approve the vintage classic, I've never been quicker to add something to my Christmas list.
Confessing her love for the Spice Village, Martha took to Instagram to say, 'The set adds a decorative touch to one’s kitchen throughout the season and all year long.'

While Lenox's spice village is timeless all year round, something is charming about a kitchen decorated with a set of these ceramic treasures during the festive season. Reminiscent of putz houses, these homely little vessels will bring a quaint feel to any space, particularly over Christmas.
Martha says, 'This Lenox Spice Village is charming. The hand-painted porcelain houses can hold all your dried herbs and spices. Why not sprinkle cinnamon from a Victorian Cottage to top off your hot cocoa? Or take a pinch of ginger from a Georgian townhouse when making those holiday cookies.'
Whether you're buying the complete set or opting for your go-to favorites, Lenox's spice jars are more than a clever storage idea; they're decorations with tons of character. Place a trio on your kitchen countertop or position your collection in pride of place on the Lenox Village Spice Rack from Walmart. It's hard to resist these dainty ornaments after home expert Martha Stewart approves them.
