    Provenance

    The early history of the service, before it entered the family of the current owner circa 1870, is sadly not known, though one interesting possibility is that the service was among the 637 lots of mainly jewellery, watches and clocks which were sold at auction when Dick's wife wound up the business in 1846. It could possibly have been acquired at that time by a member of the Prendergast family, whose crest is engraved on the teapot, and subsequently acquired by the Saunders family, whose name is engraved under the teapot, in the 1860s or 1870s.
    By family tradition acquired by John M. Saunders, who is recorded in the Post Office Directory of 1872 as 'Bank Manager, Bank of New South Wales, High Street, Maitland,' and by descent to his daughter
    Cecily Mary Anne Saunders (b.1847) who married Dr. John Pierce who was killed in a pony and trap accident, and by descent to their daughter
    Ethel Frances Margaret (1874-1948), great grandmother of the present owner.
