High praise Mark - I'm humbled

Sorry kronchew you'd have to wait in line - all my brothers have put in genealogical paperwork to lay a claim

I love the scrollwork on those two you got. The scrollwork on the acid etched one is very reminiscent of the tattoos that many of the Thai soldiers wear (protects them in combat) usually received from a Buddhist priest.

Obviously I prefer the stamped work - it looks like Serge has found some real artisans.

Just had a thought - I wonder if the next generation of Dha collectors will come up with a era or category for these pieces as they share such common design features?
