I don't know if you remember me mentioning that I had a fire back in January or February. After that whole fiasco happened and rebuying new kitchen items, I swore to myself "No more plastic!" Well, I have a confession I need to make to you guys, I lied. I would love to just stick with glass and metal, but frankly, that's expensive. One of my most adored companies has to be Emsa from Germany. I just like the funky "futuristic" but retro tableware they have. Check out these awesome pieces of tableware by Emsa on Etsy.
I instantly thought of my mom when I saw this. The 70s panton EMSA Germany serve tray is almost identical as the one I grew up with. I would use these for some parties I had with my girlfriends and they truly are handy. Plus I have a weakness for chips and salsa.
The design and color of these atomic retro bowls are so amazing. I love the soft pink color on the inside. These would clearly be great for dips and such, but also just displaying or storing things throughout the house. What a cool shape!
It's a little late for Easter, but there are many summer brunches I will be hosting. These vibrant retro Emsa egg cups are great because they are plastic! The kids love egg cups, but I'm always so nervous when they use my ceramic ones. I would be so stress free with these!
I actually might be in love with this retro snack party platter. It's so cool how it all stacks on top of each other. Storage would be very simple! I wonder if you could get away with serving different finger food with it stacked like that. My question is why don't they make things like this anymore? I really enjoy all the groovy colors!
This orange vintage Emsa appetizer tray looks like the exact same as above. It's just orange! Apparently you can keep most of the bowls stacked! This would be such an awesome centerpiece in the middle of the table. Great for parties!
I can't speak or read German, but that doesn't necessarily matter. These vintage storage boxes are great for all kinds of things. In fact, I would use this outside for a brunch and put cheese or olives in it to keep bugs away.
Probably one of the simplest yet best inventions ever are butter dishes. This vintage Emsa butter dish is super vibrant and precious. I love the colors and the atomic style on the top. Not only that, the basket style bottom is very interesting! I really enjoy it for it's simple design.
Considering I've covering tableware, I think I've done an amazing job not featuring just tea sets! This Emsa vintage breakfast set is so cute! Fortunately for my wallet, I prefer ceramic teapots and cups! Too bad this was plastic, but it would be great for tea parties with my little nieces and nephews.
This vintage Emsa storage jar is another simple yet great item. Between you and me, this would be filled with sugar! I have a little bit of a sugar problem, especially when it comes to drinking coffee.
Last, but not tableware is the retro Emsa spice rack. it was just too cute to pass up and I need one! I adore the beautiful flowers that are on the very front. This is the perfect size too. My spice cabinet is getting too crazy, so I need to have more access to some of the most used spices!
If you're someone who loves plastic kitchenware, I definitely recommend Emsa products from Germany. It's durable, light, and very resistant to aging! Also, many things come in bright colors to liven up your day! Check out these awesome pieces of tableware by Emsa on Etsy. What is something you probably could use? I'd love to hear down below!
