Burghley House Tea Ware

Tourism is not a modern phenomenon and neither is the collecting of holiday knickknacks. Guide books printed in 1797 and 1815 to Burghley House and subsequent guides have been on sale to this day.  Victorian china tea ware fairings were produced with images of Burghley House, mostly by German manufacturers, of a poor standard and for show only! These items date from between 1891 and 1914.
