Vintage 1970s Psychedelic Floral Waste Paper Bin - Flower Power Paisley - Blue Pink - Used

Used condition. Pre-owned vintage piece. The printed wrap has lifting and splitting at the seam join, and the rim shows surface scratching. Please refer to all photos carefully before purchasing. Condition as shown in images.

A genuine vintage waste paper bin from the late 1960s to early 1970s, featuring a striking psychedelic floral and paisley wrap design in deep navy blue, teal, mint, mauve pink, and cream. The bold, swirling pattern is quintessentially Flower Power era — a vivid piece of period graphic design that makes this as much a decorative object as a functional one.

Item details (photo-verified):

• Form: cylindrical waste paper bin / wastepaper basket with slightly flared top opening
• Body: rigid black moulded plastic with a separately moulded black plastic rim/collar
• Decoration: printed paper or vinyl wrap applied to the exterior body — bold psychedelic pattern featuring swirling spirals, paisley teardrops, stylised tulip and daisy flowers, and leaf motifs in navy blue, teal, mint, mauve pink, and cream/off-white
• Pattern: wraps fully around the body with different motifs visible on each side — all sides photographed

Condition (photo-verified — please read carefully):

• The printed wrap is lifting and splitting at the seam/join line — a vertical gap/crack is visible where the wrap edges meet; the wrap is peeling slightly at this point (visible clearly in photos 4 and 5)
• The black plastic rim collar shows notable surface scratching and crazing consistent with age and use (photo 6)
• The interior shows general marks and dust consistent with previous use as a wastepaper bin
• The main body plastic is structurally sound — no cracks or breaks observed
• The printed pattern remains vibrant and largely intact across the body

A versatile vintage find — ideal as a retro home decor piece, office accessory, period film or TV prop, or theatre set dressing. The vivid Flower Power design also makes it a strong candidate as a planter (add drainage holes if required).
