Australian Vintage Plastic Kitchenware – Start Collecting now for less than $1

You too can have a collection of Vintage Plastics in your home.

Its easy as 1, 2, 3

  1. Get educated:  Don’t start from scratch… search on-line… read my article Bakelite Canisters and Bessemer Plates: Vintage Australian Plastic Makers
  2. Go in search of treasure:  In your own cupboard… in op shops… at trash and treasure markets…
  3. Refine your collection: Decide which items you love… what sets have you got or nearly got… sell or swap the items you don’t love for those you do.

After I got some knowledge of Aussie brands to watch out for, I went back through my cupboards and found several more vintage plastic items that I did not realise were Aussie Vintage. Like this tray and lunch boxes.  In my mums cupboard I found this scoop and canister.

Visit your local op shops and have a look through that utensil box under the bench and through that big crate of plastic in the corner.  You will be surprised what vintage plastic kitchenware you can find.  I found these four great items at op shops for $1 or less.

Flea Market Finds or Trash and Treasure Market Finds are my favorite bargains.  I love the variety, the jumble, the walking and the chatting.  If the seller doesn’t appreciate what they have, and I do, then I feel the most satisfaction in giving the item a new home and making sure it does not end up in land-fill.  Look at some of the vintage plastic kitchenware  items I found at markets in the last year.
