Bessemer is an iconic Australian brand and as well as producing a range of sturdy kitchenware such as pots and pans, they also produced a fashionable range of melamine plastic ware.
This fabulous set is part of the 'Quartic' range, designed by industrial designer Lionel Suttie, circa early 1970s. Featured in the 'Apple Green' colour-way, it includes one large punch bowl, twelve cups and a serving ladle.
Each piece is chip and crack free, with just a small amount of scuffs from usage over the years. Overall the set is in great to excellent vintage condition.
The bowl measures approx 13cm tall x 29cm wide, cups 7cm tall x 7.5cm wide, ladle 31cm long.
This particular piece was designed by Australian industrial designer Lionel Suttie, who was a designer and lecturer at RMIT University in Melbourne, Victoria. Suttie designed a number of pieces exclusively for Bessemer (part of the Nylex group) in the 1970s.
