Relive an era when the kitchen was kitsch -- melamine bowls were pink and purple, cocktail shakers and party glasses sported fun themes, iced tea was served in sweaty spun aluminum of futuristic metallic shades, and wall Clocks kept time in bright plastic frames shaped to evoke the jet age. This wonderful collector's guide helps to date and value items manufactured for the kitchen in the mid-20th century. items range from ever popular cocktail accessories to serving ware, pitchers and glassware, cannisters, spice racks, trivets, ashtrays, rotary wall phones, chalkware ornaments, and salt and pepper shakers. Here is a nostalgic trip back in time, to mom's eat-in kitchen where family and neighbors gathered for cards, gossip, and good eats.

Reader Reviews
I'm the type of person who sees merit in every movie I've ever seen...there's never been a bad one made. I'm the same about books and to say this is the worst one ever took a lot of doing! As a buyer and seller of mid-century kitchenware, I'm always looking for new insights; Some history, some timeline, some idetification. This book definitely doesn't have it. There is absolutely no text, not one word. When were the pieces made? Who knows? Who made them? Many, if not most, do not indicate a manufacturer, which makes me think it was shoddily researched and just thrown together. I will say the photography is excellant, but if the authors wanted to put out a coffee table book, they could have at least oversized it and made it a hard cover. Unless you're looking for pretty pictures, I'd leave this one on the shelf.
