cheese - Anything In Particular https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product-tag/cheese/ From antique to vintage, from decorative to downright bizarre.

This was a free lunchbox, part of a promotion for Kraft Dairylea. Presumably one had to buy (and presumably eat) a certain quantity of the aforementioned cheese triangles in order to qualify, so there really is no such thing as a free lunch(box). In any event, we reckon it dates from the 1980s and is a rather a nice thing - the branding is unmistakeable to those of a certain age and diet.

It's a 19cm by 9cm by 14cm (8 in. by 3½ in. by 5½ in. approx.) chunk of bright blue plastic (not including the handle) with a slightly worn "Dairylea" sticker on the outside and a sticker for the promotion on the inside of the lid. It looks like it's never been used. It should be, at least for something...

]]> Set of Six Vintage French Porcelain Cheese Plates https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product/set-six-vintage-french-porcelain-cheese-plates/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=set-six-vintage-french-porcelain-cheese-plates Fri, 09 Feb 2018 17:45:03 +0000 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=1608 A set of six very kitsch and retro-looking plates depicting various regional French cheeses, with scalloped design edges with gold emblems and rims. The plates, which include individual designs for Brie, Camembert, Roquefort, Chevre, Emmenthal and Reblochon, are marked underneath "P.A.R.I.S 2 Porcelaine Francaise".

Each plate measures approximately 18.5 cm (7¼ in) in diameter. The plates are in very good condition overall, with some minor wear and tear to the transfer designs and plate edges, but no chips or cracks.
