Items from a tea set of Wedgwood and Duchess bone china belonging to Graham Kennedy.
Graham collected the fine china used in the first-class cabins of Qantas Airlines and British Airways domestic and international flights. He was very serious about his collection and corresponded with the management of Royal Doulton Australia to obtain information on new releases of tableware, specifically that used on aircraft.
At home Kennedy was very particular about the use of the china and took polaroid photographs of how it was to be arranged and presented to him by his housekeeper, Sally Baker-Beall, and other staff.
