Siamese porcelain and other tokens

Ramsden, H. A. (Henry A.) · 1911 · Yokohama, Japan : Jun Kobayagawa · 6 pictures

Siamese porcelain and other tokens is a 1911 catalogue published in Yokohama by Jun Kobayagawa, compiled by H. A. Ramsden and aimed at collectors of tokens from Thailand. Its colour plates show numbered round and octagonal tokens with Chinese characters in blue, red, and green, some with animals, fish, or crab motifs, set on pale grey-beige pages. A designer could draw on the compact, repeated shapes and the limited palette of blue, red, green, and cream for seal-like emblem or badge work.
