Nothing epitomises the marvel of the modern age than Tupperware.
The fantastic plastic, first came on the market in 1946 and from the 1960s spread throughout the globe.
Nora confesses to a certain fascination for Tupperware - is it the practical nature of the product? The retro styling from her op-shop finds? She's not yet decided so Nick has asked her to limit purchases to items that have either practical application in the Charles household or which demonstrate a specific style aesthetic.
That Tupperware's styling reveals much about post-War domestic design is part of the charm of collecting.
Pictured is an excellent condition sugar and creamer in a design called Harvest Gold produced in (we think) the 1970s.
Check out the soft, compact curves in the single moulded body of the creamer and sugar container and the deconstructed floral element.
Come back this time next week to see another piece from the Tupper-Tuesday collection.
