problem —and who isn’t?—you will- be interested to hear that Pyrex have come up with an excellent solution. Their new; Dririkmaster Range of beverage servers can be. used both for preparing- arid serving all hot and cold drinks. Look for the elegant 6-cup coffee jug (in both high and low shapes), complete with strainer fitted into the lid, which sells for 2-f/6d. There is also a 3-cup jug, ideal for hot milk, which costs only 12/6d. Both these new Pyrex jugs can be heated on top of the cooker, and can be bough't separately or in a "Coffee and Tea Set”, complete with sugar basin and candlewarmer stand, costing 3 gns. the set. This is ideal for adult or teenage coffee parties, or for serving tea or coffee round the television.
To go with the jugs—a set of ‘Drinkups’—7 oz.
tumblers in grey holders. Designed so, that they stack neatly one above the other for easy storage, these essentially modern and practical tumblers can be bought separately for 4/6d. each or in a box of four.
One of the attractive things about all Pyrex ware is its
collectability. Anyone lucky enough to get even one piece from the-new Drinkmaster Range knows that she can add to the set as and when she pleases.
