[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9778564, member: 2844"]I'll be following this thread because of my mystery stacked box set: [ATTACH=full]483076[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]483077[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]483078[/ATTACH] It was sold to me as being Amsterdam/The Hague School batik ware, and while the shape, characteristic lid, and colour scheme look the same, the motifs do not. Dutch Amsterdam/The Hague School batik ware was inspired by Javanese batik techniques, and often used Javanese motifs or typical Amsterdam School motifs. The Dutch batik technique was applied to textiles, but also to wood and celluloid. These motifs are neither Javanese nor Amsterdam School, imo. Someone has suggested to me that the 'animals' are Dayak Aso, or Dragon Dogs, in which case it is from Borneo, but I haven't been able to find proof. So I am open to suggestions.[/QUOTE]
