Tropical leaf salad serveware from Heal’s

Posted on 3rd March 2011 | Leave a comment

Want to be a retro hostess with the mostest? You may want to consider investing in this Tropical leaf salad serveware from Heal's.

A piece of kitsch, this green acrylic set comprises a large plate or a salad bowl and servers, both in the shape of a large tropical leaf. The shape is reminiscent of the ceramic Carlton ware leaf dish which was produced in the late 1940s into the 1950s but the use of the material creates something of a 70s feel.

Stock up now ahead of the summer – the plates are £4 each, while the salad bowl and servers cost £25.

Swedish Tea Time print featuring Stig Lindberg’s Bersa design

Posted on 22nd February 2011 | Leave a comment

This Swedish Tea Time print honours the Stig Lindberg's distinctive Bersa porcelain design. Originally dating to the 1960s, it's still in production today and still is the ideal accompaniment to a cup of tea, as this design makes clear!

The print is the work of Handz whose Etsy shop is full of prints inspired by classic kitchenware: other designs are based around Cathrineholm bowls or Marianne Westman's Picknick, for example.

They are reasonably priced too: far cheaper than the actual objects. This A3 print costs $19.

With two weeks to go until Shrove Tuesday, why not invest in the Tala Retro Pancake Kit?

Not strictly traditional as this is geared more to your fat American-style pancake, the kit contains all you need to create a foolproof batch, not least a non-stick lidded pan, allowing you to flip your pancakes without sticking them to the ceiling. Stay cool handles should mean you don't burn yourself either – so even the most inept of cooks can produce an impressive stack of pancakes.

Also included are a batter dispenser and a heart shaped pancake ring for those romantic breakfasts in bed.

You can buy the kit online from Next
