The Lenox Spice Village is back for the first time since the 1980s. Despite being discontinued decades ago, the adorable spice jars went viral on TikTok and Instagram, and now they’re being sold for as much as $2,500 on Etsy.
With all the digital fanfare, Lenox opted to bring the Spice Village back for another run. The second edition is just as “lovely and whimsically nostalgic as the 1989 originals,” per the product description, and the price hasn’t gone up. The retro spice jars retail for $15 each.
Want the full set? The Lenox Spice Village retails for $285 and features 24 spices packaged in miniature Victorian houses made from the brand’s fine ivory porcelain and hand-painted with spice-inspired designs. Each spice house measures 3-inches tall x 1.75-inches long x 1.75-inches wide.
The Spice Village includes 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.
“The relaunch of the Spice Village was inspired by the overwhelming enthusiasm from our customers,” Jennifer DiBenedetti, vice president of marketing at Lenox shared with the Food Network in August. “The popularity of the original set on Instagram and TikTok,” she adds, “made it clear that our customers see the Spice Village as a cherished piece of art and nostalgia. We wanted to honor that sentiment by bringing it back for a new generation of collectors.”
The Spice Village, six-piece spice set ($72) and individual spices will be released on Sept. 15. They’re available for pre-order at Lenox.com and Macy’s while supplies last.
