The collection has been built by Olive Scott, who recently donated the teacups for public display.
In recognition of her contribution to its museum, a morning tea for Mrs Scott was held at The Depot on Tuesday.
The collection was started roughly 70 years ago and has teacups that span the globe including Vienna, Holland, Fiji, Bali and many more places.
Mrs Scott said she was very appreciative of the Purtills, who built and operate The Depot, for allowing her collection to be witnessed and appreciated by all who visit the museum.
“I’m so proud to have the collection on display; I didn’t know what would happen to them,” she said.
Guests at the morning tea included friends and family of Mrs Scott, many of whom had donated to her collection over the years.
John Haig, curator at The Depot, said it was a reminder of the extent of the collection at The Depot.
“It’s not just an automotive collection, although that is a major feature. The Depot also hosts collections of Australiana and domestic memorabilia right through from the 1940s to 1980s.”
