Set of Arcopal teacups & saucers

I love the opalescence of this 1960s Arcopal teaset! Sadly only five of the six cups remain, and the gilt edging is a bit worn in places, but being made of toughened glass they’re pretty hardy so don’t have any real damage. A very pretty set that’s as hard wearing as it is attractive.

Dimensions: Cups – 7cm in diameter x 4cm tall; Saucers – 11cm in diameter

Price: R140 for the set

c Set of 6 pyrex espresso c&s

I’ve sold a few full sized sets of these pyrex cups over the years, but I’ve never come across the smaller espresso version before – aren’t they just lovely? I  love how pretty they are with their scalloped cups and saucers, and how this contrasts with the practicality of the pyrex which is a pretty tough material. This is a very dear set and in excellent condition. I hope it goes to someone who really appreciates a good strong cup of espresso!

Dimensions: Cups – 5cm tall x 6cm in diameter (at their widest); Saucers – 11cm in diameter

Price: R120 for the set

Large retro pyrex dish with lid

There’s no maker’s mark on the base of this pyrex dish, so it’s probably not of quite the same quality as some of the other pieces of pyrexware that I’ve had for sale on Mint, but it is pretty darn cool!! First off, it’s quite a big dish which immediately makes it stand out, then there’s that fantastic retro floral pattern (isn’t it just great?) and finally it has a lid which is in mint condition (generally speaking, if the lids are still around, they’re more than likely damaged in some way). There’s a minor manufacturing defect where some of the paint used to print the flowers has made its way to the rim of the dish, but other than that it really is in perfect condition. A fantastic and fun piece of pyrex that’s going to look as good sitting on your kitchen shelf as it is on your dining room table when you serve up that scrumptious winter stew!

Dimensions: 25cm in diameter x 12.5cm tall (with lid on)

Price: R145

Set of blue pyrex bowls

I know I’m a complete geek when it comes to kitchenware, but I really do get quite excited when I find a complete set of matching bowls! Don’t they look so great all neatly stacked one inside the other? Makes the world seem a better and more ordered place – well for me at least! There’s some minor wear to the rims of the bowls, but for the most part all three pieces are in great condition. A lovely set of retro bowls that will look great on display and will prove super-handy in the kitchen.

Dimensions: Large bowl – 12cm tall x 19cm in diameter; Medium bowl – 10cm tall x 17cm in diameter; Small bowl – 9cm tall x 14cm in diameter

Price:R140 for the set

Pyrex double boiler

I couldn’t believe my luck when I found another one of these Pyrex double boilers, and in mint condition to boot! The person I bought it from explained to me that they sadly didn’t have the lid for the one ‘pot’, and was quite perplexed when I told them that in fact, there never was a second lid!

This is a fantastic piece of quality cookware that will last you a lifetime, provided you care for it well.

NB: Only for use on gas stoves.

Dimensions: 21cm tall x 17cm in diameter

Price:R250
