Tom,
    I am repeating what John Ault told me. I know he got all of his Thai examples directly from members of the Thai Royal Family. They are very generous to their friends (when I was taken to meet Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, she gave me a really beautiful little lac Burgaute box, same work as the snuff bottles, apologising that she'd already given all her snuff bottles of the type to John!).
  The amazing thing is, the Thai ones are divided between Thai and Chinese designs. The Thai designs include what look like flames, as one sees wreathing the angel/demon figures.
