1952 – Tender Leaf Smiling Cups

Fifties Kitsch at its best

Like it lively? If so, you’re in for a treat. Today’s post comes from a 1952 ad for Tender Leaf tea. Our little friends are smiling and winking at us. One has a bow tie, the other a pearl necklace. This is fifties kitsch at its best!

Tender Leaf Tea Ad – Every Woman’s magazine October 1952

The ad is for Tender Leaf tea. It is interesting that in 1952, the idea of individually wrapped tea bags was a new concept.
