Another Vintage Tupperware find. And guess what?

Just before I get back to doing blogposts about pots, I thought I'd share this seasonal find with you. I wasn't really looking to pick up any more vintage Tupperware but when I came across this little box with a Christmas tree lid recently, I couldn't resist it.

I assume from the colour that it's part of the Harvest range. Remember this: Vintage Harvest Tupperware

Not sure if the Christmas tree impression in the lid is purely decorative or if it was designed to be used as a mould or a cutter. I have a feeling there were other lids like this – possibly a heart and a star.

As with most vintage Tupperware, it's well made, strong and works as well today as it did when it was made.

Vintage Harvest Tupperware. Pure retro and a perfect picnic pick.

Makes you want to go on a picnic, doesn't it?

I know it's a little off my usual subject of vintage, retro pottery. And although it's not pottery, vintage and retro it certainly is.

I found these Tupperware lidded bowls and cups recently and couldn't resist sharing them with you. I think the range name is Harvest and they're probably from the early 1970s.

The strong colours are brilliant and so typical of the 1970s era. I love the olive green and the dark orange colours. Remember this?: A retro colour palette

It's a combination of shape, colour and texture that make this vintage Tupperware look so good. But they are a joy for a couple of other reasons – they're thoughtfully designed and very well made, the lids are a good tight fit, they stack together for storing away, and they're so strong that they're virtually indestructible. Not only that but as we get further away from the 1970s, who knows? these simple picnic accessories and food storage containers may become a valuable collectable of the future.
