Pastel 1960s Tupperware


Most of these photographs are my own, of items that I have scrounged, sourced, and even purchased. Some of the photos have been shamelessly stolen from ebay users, and I apologise if you spot your own photograph here. Please email us if you would like it removed.
Green and Yellow Wonderlier bowls with the famous Tupperware 'burp' seal.

Two round storage containers and a yellow jug with a flip lid. Each of the early seals had an imprint of a seal on them, which is a good way of telling if a seal is new or vintage. The jugs were also available in pastel blue and came in two sizes, for milk or cream (see below)

Super set of six pastel cereal bowls. So useful for so much more than cereals !

Yellow and blue freezer boxes.

Freezer boxes in a range of pastel colours.

 
Blue and clear containers for the kitchen cupboard.

The classic fridge box, updated many times, but still with the grate in the bottom which stops your veg from sitting in the collected water.

Super set of jug and sugar bowl. The sugar bowl has a narrow opening for use directly onto your food, and a large spout for use while cooking.

The green grated was an innovation, in that the grater sits on top of your bowl so that you can grate directly into it. The newer versions have metal graters.

Super Lettuce bowl, complete with plastic spike in the bottom.

These pastel tumblers have their own lid tidy.

The storage containers came in a range of heights. The flip-lid made it easy to pour out ingredients like sugar.

Dear little individual jelly pots. The base is removable as well as the lid. When serving, removing the base dispels the vacuum and helps the jelly to drop out easily.
