Dating from 1960s here is a set of four funky printed tumblers - one each in red, orange, yellow and blue and all with a fabulous typically 1960s printed design highlighted with gold swirls.  These types of printed glasses were made by a great many companies and in different countries - we've not, as yet, been able to establish a manufacturer for them but would suggest that they're probably continenal.  Would make a great gift!  Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.

I like this for a number of reasons - not least the box - it's 1960s modernism at it's best with an image of a tower block to the lid - fabulous!  From the famous stainless steel manufacturer, Viners, we have a set of 6 fruit spoons in unused mint condition.   The box is also in great condition and is printed to the side with 'Vinters International Executive Suite, 6 Fruit Spoons, J 679/308, Hong Kong.  Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.

These are totally fabulous - two matching storage containers, one large and one slightly smaller, made from a thick, hardwearing bright orange and yellow plastic (the interior is black).   Decorated with stylised flowers in pink, blue and orange on a yellow ground and the lids in bright orange with yellow knob handles.  Bright and colourful these look amazing on display and are very indicative of their period of manufacture.

CONDITION:  Both containers have light surface wear/scratching consistent with normal use but overall are in good condition and have no cracks or major damage.

Here is a set of six very elegant tall glass tumblers - known as a Harlequin set when each glass is a different colour - there's one each in green, blue, grey, amber, pale pink and amethyst.  In a fabulous straight cylindrical shape they're made from a very thin (and extremely good quality) vibrant coloured glass.  We're estimating these to date from the 1970's or thereabouts - and are not certain which maker to attribute them to but from the look and feel think they're almost certainly Scandinavian - they're extremely good quality.  They would make a great gift and would be a pleasure to sip from.  Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.

Dating from between 1965 and 1972 are these black and white Hornsea 'Scroll' design ceramic herb and spice jars with wooden lids - the shapes were designed by John Clappison and the scroll design by Gordon Hellewell.  Consisting of Parsley, Thyme, Sage, Cinnamon, Allspice and Ginger these are decorative pieces of retro kitchenware and from a highly collectable pottery.  All wooden lids are original and still with their rubber seals - although the lids have loosened over time in most cases.  Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.

SIZE: Height to top of lid knob  3.25in/8cm   Combined Weight  600g

CONDITION: Gorgeous original clean condition with no chips, cracks or hairlines and very little surface marking - there is a minor nibble to the base rim of the Allspice.

Whilst we do know (from having another item from this range with an original label) that this lovely 1960s glass jug was made by an English company with the initials 'JH' from their 'Elegance' range we think, we know nothing else about this company or range.  It has a good solid feel and has a wonderfully typically late 1960s space/bubble motif running down the side and a textured surface pattern elsewhere.  Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.
