Collectable Kitchenware

I have been exploring the internet recently for anything new about kitchen products, when I saw a little bit in an article about a exhibit to be shown later this year in the Museum of Guernsey.

The exhibition is about the lives of the Channel Islanders under occupation during WWII, but the part that interested me most was about the lives of those interned, or deported, by the German occupiers, and how they had to make to with anything they could, even when it came to kitchenware.

This cup was made out of a recycled Red Cross box, and shows not only ingenuity, but impudence in that they had engraved a large "V for Victory" on the front. Because the conditions, this cup is the only one of its kind, so very collectible, and I dare say it for actual use in the kitchen. It just goes to show that it's not always about the newest thing, sometimes old things can fascinate too.
