Coasting along with Rodney Peppé

Vintage set of 6 coasters designed by Rodney Peppe for Crown Merton

We picked up this set of drinks coasters this week. Aren’t they fabulous? They were produced by Crown Merton in the 1960s/70s – and feature six different animal designs by Rodney Peppé, who we’ve blogged about a few times in the past.

One of these designs feature on a metal tray that we have in our own collection – namely the ram eyeing up a giant daisy for his lunch!

We also have another tray with a wonderful peacock design, that pattern isn’t included in this set. We wonder if there are any other creatures that we need to look out for?

We bought a bagful of vintage drink mats yesterday.

Vintage Cherry B Drink mats | H is for Home

They date from the 1960s era and we like the various designs.

There are card coasters advertising Cherry B, Babycham, Dewar’s whisky and Martell cognac.

There are enough to make sets of 6 for both Dewars patterns, sets of 6 for the simple cherry design, a set of 4 for the pretty Cherry B party girls – and a couple each of the Babycham and Martell.
