'Wembley Ware' was produced by a Western Australian company, Brisbane and Wunderlich. During the 1950s, Brisbane and Wunderlich of Subiaco, Western Australia, were Australia's largest commercial producers of ceramics. The branding later became known as Bristile' or 'B&W'. One of their most successful ranges was Wembley Ware, produced between 1946 and 1961. High taxes on decorative ceramics at the time meant that the majority of Wembley Ware items were designed as useful household crockery but with outlandish and highly stylized designs that superseded their primary function. The company changed ownership a number of times over the years and its primary function became providing vitrified crockery to the hospitality industry and military.
