Provenance:
From the collection of a Scottish gentleman who gathered the pieces 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 pieces were collected within the UK.
