A Private Scottish Collection
The following eighteen lots are part of a collection gathered by a Scottish gentleman over the course of twenty years. The inspiration to collect Asian ceramics came from an earlier interest in Scottish arts and crafts pottery of the Dunmore factory, which showed elements of Asian influence in their design. All lots were collected within the UK.
