Maria, with one of five clay pots which Thomas Harrison brought home from a business trip to Portugal. Thomas imported cork from Portugal, and made several trips there.
Taken in 1884, at their home in Molesworth St, Kew, Victoria.

The pots were inherited by Lilian, who in turn passed them on to Margaret & Alison. All are still in the family, with one belonging to myself.
