Featuring a bold orange bowling motif, these lightweight cups embody the style and leisure culture of mid-century Australia. They come housed in their original blue Vynex zip pouch, manufactured by ICI — a rare survivor from the era when picnics, road trips and bowling leagues were weekend rituals.
