Deco-style teapot from London Transport Museum

Marty teapot 2

The wealth of the London Transport Museum advertising archives has been dipped into again, to produce this Deco-style teapot. It's part of a new tableware range based around the 1930s posters by Andre Edouard Marty. 

The illustration on the porcelain teapot comes from the poster 'As We Dance Around', commissioned for the Underground Electric Railways Company Limited. It was produced in 1931 and the shape of the pot draws inspiration from this period. 

Separate cups and milk jugs are available, each with a similar look. Each product comes in an presentation box which gives further details on the posters and artist and makes it an ideal gift for any elegant, tea-supping types you may know. 

The teapot costs £32.99.

Keep Calm and Carry On wall decals

Keepcalm

Well, it's been available in just about every other shape, size and design for the home (and for your person), so it's inevitable that we would see Keep Calm and Carry On wall decals.

Yes, that classic wartime message (which we first broke online back in 2006 I believe) is now available to directly apply to your walls, sized at 18 inches wide by 31 inches high and available in a range of colours, not just the black pictured here.

All for the same price though – $25.

Sanderson Dandelion Clocks 1950s-style homeware range

Dandelion_range

We have covered the Sanderson Dandelion Clocks range before – as a wallpaper and fabric, as well as the recently-added rug. But now you can eat off it too, courtesy of the Sanderson Dandelion Clocks homeware range.

It's a 1950s design that's proving more than a little popular today, hence the proliferation of items using it. Saying that, we think it works really well for retro-styled cups and saucers, a teapot, sugar bowl and creamer, plus the full dinnerware set if you want the plates and bowls too.

Prices vary, depending on which piece you fancy, but start at around £7. See the Heals site for the full range online.

Handmade Elvis Presley lampshade

Elvis

As retro as it is kitsch, the handmade Elvis Presley lampshade can be your very own living room tribute to 'the king'.

No all-in-one sequinned catsuits here, this is a shade packed with pictures of Elvis in his uber-hip youth, that collage printed onto a shade that has a diameter  of 25cm side and a  length of 22cm, which should fit a medium to large lamp base.

Available online, you can pick one up for £30.
