Regis - Cheers to over 170 Million

My collection of locally designed products grows each time a go to an opp shop or market. The packaging for this classic seventies prawn cocktail set of glasses designed by Ted Kayser is a ripper, I couldn't resist. Ted has provided a full account of the product development in the late sixties of this incredibly successful product range. My father was given a huge set, in a blue box by his employees for Xmas in the seventies, so they were always out at Wong family parties. The original five pieces 9oz, 7oz, 6oz, 5oz and 2 1/2 oz, glasses were awarded the Industrial Design Council of Australia Good Design Award in 1969. Over 170,000,000 items were manufactured from a range that grew from five to finally 17 pieces, designed between 1969 and 1973. (The carafe is still in production, see previous post)
