Bygone Beautys

Bygone Beautys Treasured Teapot Museum & Tearooms is nestled in the village of Leura within the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area.

The Treasured Teapot Museum offers visitors a truly memorable experience – so don’t forget your camera! The Museum Admission of $5.50 per person is redeemed with an equivalent purchase in the tearooms or retail area.

The ultimate indulgent experience is to enjoy the famous silver-service Traditional High Tea or the ever-popular Devonshire Tea in the Bygone Beautys Tearooms.

Visitors can purchase estate jewellery (gold, silver and diamonds), antiques, collectables and contemporary quality gifts - all scattered throughout the emporium.

On most days you may catch the proprietor, Maurice Cooper OAM, (better known as The Teapot Man or Mr Teapot) serving customers at the front desk. Maurice will be easily recognisable wearing a bow tie, and will probably be in the midst of selling a diamond ring to a customer. Maurice and some of the staff are themsleves great examples of Bygone Beautys!

Between February 2014 and August 2015, Bygone Beautys undertook major extensions and renovations including a new museum space featuring more than 5,500 teapots (some debuting publically for the first time), function room, formal tearoom and retail area specialising in all things tea-related. The revamp has been steeped to perfection and is now ready to savour.
