    Discontinued Totally Today Dinnerware Set Facts And Dish Patterns

    Published: by Kathy Owen Jun 7, 2025 Modified: Jun 8, 2025· "As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases"

    A Totally Today dinnerware set may be hard to find, but pieces of the various discontinued patterns are still available through replacement companies and through second-hand sources. From time to time I see a full set for sale.

    If you are drawn to a specific pattern in the Totally Today dish brand, now is the time to seek it out and purchase what you can find to ensure that a complete set can be created.

    Totally Today was a dinnerware brand known for its wide array of decorative patterns, many of which have been discontinued and are now sought after by collectors. Among these, the black dishes adorned with fruit patterns stand out for their distinctive design. This dish pattern featuring purple grapes, green leaves, and smooth design elements was especially popular.

    This trendy dinnerware was made in China. I haven't been able to find much info on the company that produced these awesome patterns, which makes me think that perhaps the company has shut down or pulled the Totally Today brand. 

    However, I can find many of the sets online, especially on eBay, where numerous listings are available for complete matching sets of this beautiful dinnerware. 

    Because the dinnerware patterns are discontinued, finding a full set is a rare find if you find the pattern appealing. Otherwise, you can purchase individual pieces as they become available to complete a full set.

    You can even mix and match if there are different patterns and designs that you like and you're able to find them. In fact, if you see some you like, you will want to get them because you don't know when or if you will ever see them again.

    Unique patterns

    Perhaps the most original pattern features flamingo birds and palm trees. I like the pattern that features flowers, a hummingbird, and butterflies. That is perfect for springtime dinnerware. The swirled patterns are also appealing and add a unique touch to the design.

    Another design is the yellow rooster, which features a large rooster print in the center of the plate and smaller versions of the rooster around the rim. These unique designs would also be great for collectors to hang or display in their homes. 

    Holiday sets

    The Christmas dinnerware sets by Totally Today are great for Christmas décor and serving holiday dinners. I actually have some pieces from the Holly Tree pattern and I find the poinsettia pattern to be perfect for holiday serving.

    I view most of this dinnerware as casual dinnerware sets, decorative; however, there are two patterns that had metallic trim in gold and silver for a fine dinnerware appearance.

    It seems that Totally Today was ahead of its time in producing dinnerware that fit the trends of the era. If you're into vintage décor, Totally Today is a brand worth exploring.

    The lighthouse dinnerware pattern, the palm tree patterns, the apple pattern, and the swirled and embossed patterns lead me to that conclusion. The patterns are definitely decorative and will do well in complementing vintage décor.

    Collecting a Totally Today Dinnerware Set

    Totally Today, dinnerware is a timeless choice for any lover of classic vintage sets and pieces. Not only is Totally Today dinnerware highly sought-after by collectors but it can also be found almost anywhere – from thrift stores to antique fairs and online auctions. For many collectors, finding the pieces is half the fun. 

    When shopping for Totally today vintage sets and pieces, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, inspect the condition of the pieces carefully – look out for defects like chips, cracks or discoloration that can compromise the value and make them unsuitable for display.

    Secondly, when buying an entire set, consider the total cost of the set. Even if it is priced lower per piece, when added together, this number could end up being more than expected.

    Lastly, always go with your gut instinct – if a piece sparks joy or appeals to your sense of style, then it's worth considering as an addition to your Totally Today collection.
