Slim pickings this week in my eternal search for cool vintage finds. However, what I did find was pretty special:
Vintage Kia-Ora cup and jug in bright plastic orange.
It was manufactured by Crayonne Ltd, probably in the 1970s. Kia-Ora was launched in Great Britain in 1917 and is still going strong today! I am definitely on the look out for a couple more cups so we can use them in the summer.
