This month I've discovered a lot of hidden treasures within the second-hand shops of Abergavenny, including these maroon-coloured beauties...
These 1970s mugs embody the era’s love for earthy tones and practical craftsmanship; simple, sturdy, and shaped for daily ritual. I imagine countless coffee-fueled conversations, slow morning reflections, and cosy kitchen corners where they were once cherished.
These 1950s glasses are a perfect example of mid-century charm, with their distinctive bubble base adding both elegance and whimsy to the design. Popular in the post-war era, they reflect the period’s embrace of bold yet practical craftsmanship; glassware meant to be both beautiful and functional. Though styles have changed, these glasses carry with them the elegance of a bygone era.
This vintage trio, with its deep maroon glaze and smooth glossy finish, embodies the timeless craftsmanship of Poole Pottery, England. Designed for quiet moments and rich cappuccino rituals, its elegant curves and sturdy ceramic construction reflect an era when beauty and durability went hand in hand. Whether gracing a morning table or tucked into a collector’s cabinet, this set carries the essence of vintage charm; a piece of history in every sip.
Each piece can be found right HERE in my Etsy shop... ♥
