Kähler designed the classic Storia Teapot back in the 1930s, but thankfully it is back in production so you don’t have to go searching antique stores to get your hands on it.

The Storia Teapot features a distinctive spiral handle and is made from black ceramic which adds to its striking look. There are also now a teacup, milk jug and sugar bowl in the same range, which have the same iconic handle.

The teapot costs £55, the jug and sugar bowl £22 and the teacup £24, all available from Scandi Living.

Fans of the space-age look may be interested in the Mr White Clock.

Inside a polished steel frame, the clock features a shiny white face, white numbers and white hands. The numbers are raised in a 3D effect to make it possible to read them without spoiling the stark minimalist design.

The clock is available in a choice of two sizes; medium measuring 37.5cm (£45) or large measuring 51.5cm (£89). Both sizes are available from Oliver Bonas.

Homemaker homeware is something of a mid-century classic, sold on the high street in the 1950s (most notably, in the now-departed Woolworths), it was cheap and cheerful at the time, but is now sought-after by anyone who wants something period and kitsch for their tea and cake. If you don't believe us, check eBay for some price estimates. Which makes Yoyomaker all the more appealing.

At first glance, you might think it's much the same as the original. But look closely and you'll see that the original's images of period sideboards, spoons and lamps have been replaced by items from the last 30 years – including Nokia mobile phones, iPods, Panton chairs and a Braun food processor. In fact, half the fun is picking them all out.

You can buy the mugs and plates individually or in a set, priced from £15 per piece. See the mug over the page.
