These four pieces are all I've found (for the right price) lately. Colored aluminum is something that takes me back to my childhood, and that's why I try to buy what I can.
Remember ice cold tea served in these colored glasses, that got so cold they burnt your fingers? Those were the days...
Thanks Lisa!
Thanks Ron!
Thanks AmberRose and Cindyjune!
Scandinavian, this was very common kitchenware in the US of the 60s-70s. You could find anything, from bowls to salt & pepper shakers in colored aluminum. Sets would typically have a piece in each color.
This wasn't too popular in Spain, and it was restaurants that used these pitchers with the bakelite handles.
I'm pretty sure most of the things I find were left behind by servicemen/women from the military bases.
Which makes them all the more interesting, in my book.
I have 2 pitchers, several sets of alum. cups in various sizes and colors, ice tea spoons, coasters and shot glasses, I love this stuff.
FYI - your green pitcher is called "hammered aluminum" re: pattern.
Wonderful
