The Burnap Collection of English Pottery, with more than 1,300 examples of slipware, delftware and stoneware, is the most important collection of pre-industrial British pottery outside Britain. The collection, in part, was gifted to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO, in the early 1950s. This service was purchased from Frank and Harriet Burnap by the consignor's mother.
