        History
        This teacup and saucer and cruet set belonged to my Grandmother. She was born in 1908 and married in 1938, both in Wickepin, Western Australia. One of these gifts was a 21st birthday present and the other a wedding gift, both from her parents. It has been forgotten over time, which present was for which event.
