Significance

This cruet set reflects the style of tableware produced in Staffordshire, England, in the early 20th century. Staffordshire became the centre of pottery manufacture in England by 1730, and a century later it was established as an international centre, exporting its products around the world. Staffordshire pottery was widely used in homes and cafes throughout Australia.
