A set of six unbranded - but very much in the style of JAJ/Pyrex's Drink Ups - cups, with their plastic bases and handles and removable glass inner, are presented in very fetching orange and brown tones. Whether for the camper van, to take out on picnics, or simply for use at home these are a great little set of cups which probably date from the 1970s.

Each cup measures approximately 7cm (2¾ in.) in height with a rim diameter of 7cm (2¾ in.) and a base of 4cm (1½ in.). In very good clean condition with no chips or cracks to the glass or the plastics. Only very very minor signs of any use at all.

1970s Orange Zyliss All-Purpose Plastic Storage Container in Original Box

A very funkily designed storage box from the 1970s made by Zyliss in Switzerland, featuring a nested set of containers on a single corner pivot allowing them to be opened and used independently or lifted out. The set comes in a very retro shade of orange and is in the original box. The top section has a solid lid and the base is weighted for stability. The two middle trays are in a clear plastic allowing the contents to be visible.

The unit is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks and very little, if any, signs of use. The box is also in good condition, even retaining its original price sticker from "Co-Op". In summary, this is a very useful set of containers with many practical purposes, but with its orange colour and rounded corners also a very nice retro design piece.

The unit measures 17cm (6¾in.) by 12.5cm (5in.) by 11cm (4¼in.)

Uber Retro Thermos Jug in Yellow

Yes, *that* yellow. The yellow that VW Camper Vans are made of. The yellow that Austin Allegros were made of (not many still exist, unsurprisingly!). The yellow that *made* the 70s, basically.

This very chic 1 litre Thermos Jug (a.k.a "Leisure maker"!) is in superb condition and we're actually loathe to part with it, it's such a nice piece and perfectly usable as well! Obviously, it's a Thermos so it keeps hot things hot and cold things cold, but this is more than that as you can see from the photos!

This one seems to have been barely used, if at all, and it comes with the original box, although it's a little misshapen and showing its age, but aren't we all? The jug measures 30cm (12 in) high with a diameter at the base of 12cm (4.5 in) - the box is slightly bigger, as boxes tend to be. If we were to be really picky we'd say that the lid has a little bit of fading compared to the main body, but that would really be splitting hairs in relation to the overall condition of the item, which is very good.

One for the VW Camper fans, we think!
