Story behind the treasure: Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, the gum nut babies, was a favourite story read to me by my father when I was a small child in Australia. As I grew up I learned to love the Australian bush and especially the sight and smell of the majestic gum trees. Now, as an adult, I collect Carlton Ware and this is a rare gum nut jar that reminds me of my father, of growing up in Australia and - even though I love my adopted home of England - my much loved place of birth.
