Ex. Dr Peter Elliot Collection. The Peter Elliott Collection was an extraordinary private collection acquired over seventy years by a remarkable and inspiring man. Peter Elliott grew up surrounded by art β his father was a friend and patron of Norman Lindsay, and several other modern Australian artists β and he acquired his first piece in 1947, soon after he left his service with the Navy at the age of seventeen. Following graduation, he went on to become a highly respected and decorated surgeon, but it was as a passionate and dedicated art collector that he became most well-known.
Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be a Ming Dynasty wine cup, painted with underglaze blue abstract design, a thin blue band around the outer rim, the inside painted with the name Nai (?) surrounded with circular line. The estimate is based on results of similar wine cups offered or sold at auction.
