My small object big story object is my brother’s tea set. He received it from our great grandmother. I am fairly sure this object is from Australia but I don’t think there is any way of knowing. This item is very special to my whole family because it is very old and was originally owned by our great, great grandmothers.

My brother was given it when he was very, very young because he always enjoyed making tea for everyone and every time we would visit her he always wanted to make her a cup of tea. Our great grandmother has recently died, so to all of us, it is a very special and important way of remembering her.

In our family it is looked after very carefully. I chose to do my story on this object because it has great significance to my whole family and it is extremely special to me. The tea set is silver and consists of a mini teapot a drainer and something you squeeze tea leaves with. I’m not too sure if this object has meant different things to different people over time because honestly there really is no way to tell as my great, great grandmother is no longer alive nor is my great grandmother or my Nan so I doubt that anyone would be able to find that out.

This tea set has been looked after over the years it has quite a few scratches and whatnot but it is still in fairly good condition considering how long it has been in the family. One of the stories I remember the most was when my brother first got it, and my great grandmother didn't really like the tea that he made but drunk it anyway because he put in so much effort to make it and every time we would see her she would remind us of it.
