The range covers everything from mugs and side plates pictured to oven gloves and storage jars. Each item is decorated in the same college style way: pretty florals shown alongside printed bits of paper to give a vintage feel.

Olives tea towel by Marianne Nilsson
Perfect for slinging over your arm as you're serving up a few martinis – or useful in clearing up the aftermath of a few too many, this Olives tea towel by Marianne Nilsson is another fifties design plucked from the archives.
It's a great graphic number, covered in circular motifs and juicy olives on sticks. Shown here in the blue version, it's also available in a red colour scheme.
The tea towel costs £8.95.

Lemonade urn from Anthropologie
Get ready for the sweet taste of Summer with this lemonade urn from Anthropologie.
The urn is ceramic and it sits atop a table ready to dispense lemonade (or, I guess, any other liquid you might want to consume in large quantities). Decorated with vintage-style lettering, the urn is full of retro charm.
It costs £158.

Hackman summer jug and colander
Cast your mind back and you may remember Hackman summer casserole dish, a charming piece of kitchenware featuring a great 50s-style pattern. That range has now been expanded to include more things for your kitchen, including a summer jug and a colander.
Like the casserole dish, both items are decorated with the retro pattern of vegetables, produced by Dog Design. All the products are made from traditional enamelware, meaning the products should last you for the foreseeable future – a touch of pretty practicality for your kitchen.
The colander costs 33 euros, while the jug is available for 19 euros.

Klippan fish tray
There seem to have been a lot of fish on this site recently, from Marianne Westman's My Garden tray to the Jonathan Adler plate. Here's another slice of retro fish style, the Klippan fish tray.
The tray is designed by Bengt & Lotta, who frequently pop up on this site, and is typical of their fun and graphic style, which frequently references traditional Scandinavian folk art. The tray is covered in fish of all sizes and shapes, decorated in different patterns and colours.
The tray costs £18.95.
