It’s been a while since we did one of our Forthcoming Attractions posts. We did actually hold back from buying new stock for a while during the deepest winter months. However, spring has now sprung, so we’re getting back out on the vintage trail. Here’s a small selection of our recent finds.
This pair of 1950s/60s plates have illustrations featuring a couple at leisure – playing music together in one, and fishing in another. They’re very sweet, whimsical & charming – and the work of a designer whose name is new to us – one, Arvid Reikvam. We’ll certainly have to investigate him further. The plates were produced by a very familiar company however – Stavangerflint of Norway.
On to another well-known maker of vintage Scandinavian pottery – indeed, another Norwegian factory, Egersund. We love this simple, stylised flower design. We have a few pieces dotted around our own house. This handled dish has a multitude of possible uses – or it could just sit on a shelf looking pretty!
Next up is a bit of vintage lighting, something we’re always keen to get hold of – good looking and useful. This flexi-neck desk lamp has a real space age style. We like the shade detailing too, three narrow slots allowing shafts of light upwards in addition to the main downward directional task light.
We couldn’t resist these vintage metal locker numbers. We loved the bold orange colour and fabulous aged patina. Someone out there must have the perfect use for them!
Last, but certainly not least, we have a large quantity of 1960s Mills Moore cutlery. This beautifully designed range is made from stainless steel with walnut handles. We get many requests for this cutlery so we’re sure that there’ll be some interested parties amongst our readers. We actually have six of each of all the knives, forks and spoons shown above.
All items will be heading to our web shop soon. However, if your particularly keen on anything, please feel free to drop us a line.
