Glamaware anodised tea service
made in Australia, c .1950s
Glamaware- the name says it all! When I first started this blog, my lovely sister-in–law Pam gave me her Glamaware tea set- in the same golden colour as this set- and I used it as my blog icon, vowing never to sell it. Pam’s tea service [a wedding present] is everything good about the 50s- bright and shiny in colour, with bakelite knobs and handles.
I chanced upon this tea service and bought it so I’d have one to keep and one to sell on the blog. I figure I can’t be the only one in love with anodised aluminium- and especially gold anodised aluminium. [The set also comes in powder blue and baby pink. Those colours are good too, but gold is the best!]
If you zoom into the image, you’ll see my photographer son taking the photo. I quite like that he is finally being acknowledged for all his great photography work, albeit somewhat subtly.
This glamorous tea service is in perfect condition and is for sale: $AUD75
Glamaware, what a fabulous name, although I did think your post was going to be about something quite different….
Yeah, they sure knew how to name things in the 50s! It’s glamour all the way! – but perhaps you thought it would be an item of clothing?
Yes I did!
