We are the Ovaltineys

Ovaltine, first developed in Switzerland in 1904, became a household name in Britain as a nourishing malted drink, especially popular in the mid‑20th century. Marketed as both comforting and health‑giving, Ovaltine was a staple of British kitchens and even featured in radio programmes like The Ovaltineys.

Promotional items such as fine bone china mugs reinforced the brand’s wholesome identity, blending utility with advertising. Today, Ovaltine mugs are prized as nostalgic collectibles that capture the heritage of British beverage culture and the colourful world of retro promotional ware.
