[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 303382, member: 2844"]With or without mouldy mandarins?:D:hilarious: Kidding aside, it is lovely. The geometrical decoration and the small 'Islamic' rim look Sumatran, the cranes and phoenix Chinese. Are you sure it is not a very constrained Peranakan tray? Or Malay/Indonesian made for the Peranakan market? Could it have been a tray for a tempat sirih/betel set? These are sirih/betel trays from Java: [IMG]https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ebayimg.com%2F00%2Fs%2FNjgwWDEwMjQ%3D%2Fz%2FPToAAOSwvflZVLoy%2F%24_82.JPG&sp=599b12f6ac4807403fa5f1cd33f704d8[/IMG] [IMG]https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aanthuys.nl%2Fimg%2Fproducts%2Fproduct2239_1.JPG&sp=57527537bb0f1c7505c278ab2688c19b[/IMG][/QUOTE]
