Bygone Beautys Teapot Collection started some 30 years ago by Ron Hooper . Ron joined forces with Maurice Cooper, both now joint proprietors of Bygone Beautys Antiques at Leura. It was not until 1992 with the establishment of Bygone Beautys Tearooms at Leura that the collection really got going, thus a purpose and viewing arrangement. The collection is continually growing and can boast to be the largest private collection in the world as of June 2002.
