Statement of significance

Historic: Items were made by Wembly Ware who were a local Subiaco pottery manufacturer.
Condition: Item is part of a set (the donor form mentions that the cups come with accompanying saucers, but at the date of accession these could not be found).
Provenance: The ranger who possed the cups before donating them to the Mayor thought that they would be of future use and took them home where he stored them until 2013 (see research for full story).
