Wembley Ware
For those who believe that quirky mid-century artifacts like TV lamps came only from the U.S. and Canada, Wembley Ware may come as a bit of a surprise. Wembley Ware was a line of quality ceramics produced in Western Australia by Brisbane and Wunderlich. The line was made from 1947 until 1961 in Subiaco, and has become highly collectible in recent years. The products, consisting mainly of lamps, vases and ashtrays, are known for their dazzling designs and shimmering glazes.
