History

In 1921, Calyx Porcelain and Paint Company Ltd. became the first company in Western Australia to produce ceramics. Skilled craftsmen were brought from the U.K.  They used locally sourced raw materials; clay from Goomalling and Kalamunda, sand from Lake Gnangara and feldspar from Coolgardie and began producing a wide range of earthenware and china. At a time of recovery from WW2, a new 'Fancy Ware Range' was introduced, called Wembley Ware. Wembley Ware was produced in Subiaco, Western Australia.
