I have some 60s/70s costume jewellery inherited from my Nan. Nothing valuable, but very dear to me.
I have a 60s coffee set and cutlery that belonged to my parents. Until last year we had the 80s microwave that had originally belonged to my step Nan. I still use the white Ikea plates I bought as part of a kitchen set when I left for Uni in 1994. Do they count as vintage yet?

My Ma had these - iirc she saved coupons from Knorr packet soups to get them
Soup bowls that I think came from a garage?

Which ones? I have stuff from the bottom four pics where I'm living now, plus a few other patterns, and my mum still uses the village scenes mugs top right.
It's interesting that I automatically think of the same things despite being younger than most people here <insert badly punctuated boomer facebook meme about how they built stuff to last back in The Good Old Days>

Either third down on the left or third down on the right - I think they are the same.
Think there's at least two different shape/size cups with the same pattern. I can't remember if I have more than one, but I definitely do for another of their patterns.
E2a looking more closely, the left mugs are taller. You can tell from how the pattern is very slightly different to those on the right.

Right, then. With saucers. If memories which are about 40 years old can be trusted.

I have just one of the top one. Can’t think where it came from!

We had at least one of those when I was young. I do all my soup drinking out of a big plastic mug these days.

I suspect that more than 50% of posters here had a Griffin savers sports bag. Post sad for yes, you had one, angry for no, you were never a Griffin saver and did not benefit from their generosity.
I’d quite like to have a pristine one now.
Edit: the poll is showing 66:33 against Griffin saver bag ownership, which is an enormous surprise. N=3.

Aren't they worth a fortune though?

(He worked for Nat West so was given them, and being a wise man decided to squirrel them away in the loft).

Yes! I did not realise they could be descibed as "fake bone".

I've got a couple of the tea cups and side plates of those. Mum might still have some more.

here’s where I’m going to grumble about modern cutlery - too light, too small and not enough heft to them, especially forks

They’re great! I have about ten of them, they get used for butter spreading and they make great stirrers/spatulas for stirring small pans, for lifting stuck things off my baking tray, wouldn’t be without them.

Although I don't have any for me it's the green Beryl west crockery. Always reminds me of a neighbour/bonus Gran from when I was little.
