Op Art style glass storage jar from Sabichi

Sabichi storage

Many retro kitchens seem to focus on the 1950s diner look. So it's refreshing to see this Op Art style storage jar, produced by Sabichi. 

The black and white design of disappearing circles could have stepped straight out of the 60s. And, as well as being stylish, it's practical too. Made of glass, it holds 0.7 litres of whatever you'd like to put in it! If you like this design, they produce a slightly larger jar also with a black and white geometric design. 

This jar costs a very reasonable £9.99.

American company, the Schoolhouse Electric Co. manufacture glass shades for lights, based on models they've found dating from between 1900 and 1950, even replicating the traditional techniques used to produce them. They've teamed up with illustrator Yellena James to produce their first artist series. 

Her naturally inspired designs have been used across three shapes of shades. They're available etched on clear glass or reproduced as a charcoal, green or multi-colour illustration, on a milky-white shade. The results are unusual and unique looking pieces and offer a subtle way to introduce a vintage feel to a room. 

Prices range from $35 to $95.

Looking to knock back some shots in style? These mod vodka tumblers from Artel could be your answer. As the name might suggest, they are decorated in a stylish black, geometric pattern. 

Artel specialize in glassware with graphic and geometric designs.Named after a group of Czech early twentieth artisans, the company tries to reflect their values in their work. For example, though these glasses have a sleek and modern look, they've been made using traditional glass-blowing techniques. 

Costing £193 for a set of three, they're probably glasses to be brought out on special occasions only.
