Bombay Bazar Bronze Table-Ware Set Label
This item is a decorative silk ribbons label for a 'Bronze Table-Ware' set, indicating it was 'Hand-Crafted in Siam' (modern-day Thailand) and manufactured by 'Bombay Bazar' located at P.O. Box 204, Bangkok. The label is a pale gold or champagne-colored ribbon with black printed typography and graphics, featuring an ornate sunburst emblem at both ends. It is resting against a textured, vibrant red velvet or velour lining, which typically indicates it belongs to a presentation display case or storage chest for flatware. The use of the name 'Siam' suggests a mid-20th-century production date, likely between the 1940s and 1960s, a period when Thailand was a major exporter of bronze and teak cutlery to Western markets. The condition appears to be fair to good, with some visible fraying on the edges of the ribbon and slight creasing. The printing remains legible and sharp, demonstrating the decent quality of the commercial packaging for this era of export goods. The presence of the manufacturer's specific P.O. box and address adds helpful provenance for collectors of vintage Southeast Asian tableware.
