<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 1556731, member: 2844&quot;]As I said about your last thread, Chinese storage vessel and ask Princessehof about specifics, send them good photos. Those vessels are very difficult to date. There are few specialists in Southeast Asian storage vessels, and few people who can tell you where to ask.</p><p>About the shell stoneware, I said probably oil jugs. Joint effort reply: likely origin Rhine-Meuse region, Fid suggested Raeren and gave link to museum.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also identified the Bodhisattva, and the VOC mark on the sword, which both Springfield and I thought was of Indian origin. I gave a list of VOC colonies in India, Spring gave further instructions. You decided Ceylon instead of India, even though it bears no resemblance to the elaborately decorated Ceylon kastanes or similar Ceylon swords. But it is yours, so yours to decide, and fine by me.</p><p><br /></p><p>All in all I think we have given you something to go by in every thread. I am sorry you are not happy with the replies you got.</p><p>I for one loved seeing your beautiful items and replying to your questions. I am sure I am not the only one.</p><p>Frankly, I don&#039;t know where you would have had so much feedback in such a short period of time on the diverse items you showed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
