Sherry glass

Tableware

An unfashionable drop

Sherry was often served at local pubs, clubs and hotels throughout Western Australia, until the 1970s, when it fell out of fashion. These sherry glasses are from Hotel Kellerberrin which once stood on the corner of Ripper and Massington Streets, until it was substantially destroyed by fire. The hotel owner, Thomas Stuart Patterson, was also a philanthropist who funded the St Joseph’s Preventorium in Kellerberrin.
