Set of three Washington Pottery “Flower Power” design plates

Usually when we mention a "flower power" design it's a generic term for the kind of bold floral designs typical of the 1960s and 1970s, but in this case it's a literal label. These are "Flower Power" design plates by Washington Pottery, the same people who brought funky fish and colourful cows to our tables, in their "Aquarius" and "Beefeater" ranges respectively.

Each plate features a single flower in bright and bold colours and a suitably funky design and we have three of them here. They measure approximately 23cm / 9 in in diameter and all three have stamps to their underside. They are almost dinner plate size, though these are more likely to be decorative pieces, we would think. There are some small surface losses to the designs and some marks - a kind of discolouration - throughout the three plates as well as kiln marks, and one plate has a small nick to it. However, these are hard to come by and make a great ensemble, so these imperfections have to be seen in that context.

Boxed Tomy Palitoy Air Blaster Air Powered Car Toy

If you're of a certain age you will remember these from your childhood. You may have coveted the one someone else had. You may even have been lucky enough to have owned it yourself (yours truly wasn't one of those people!). It's a Tomy/Palitoy Air Blaster (also known as the Air Jammer in some regions) from the 1980s - an air-powered toy car which, when pumped up, launches away at speed and with a "roaring" sound and disappears into the distance. They were a lot of fun and still are if you have the space to let it run. This one is in excellent condition, with original box, pump and the "starting line" card. Re-live your youth or simply have a blast with it for the first time...
