"I have a ful-size version of these Cantonese sets where the box is inscribed as having been purchased in China - so it looks as if they were available locally, although probably only for the tourist trade.."

"haha, people greed. i can see by price he up it by an order of 10 magnitude gee what kind of people have we become, i kinda guess that 150 dollar value from taking away a zero should be 4.5kPHP, should be made of jade and rose gold for that price..and it would not be too durable, drop a piece and break"

"Raymond,
No, the board did not come with the set. The board is modern abd comes from the English SAC company, who make & supply resin molded, themed, chess sets. This board is known as the "Tudor Rose" board"
Jim Joannou
"Did this set come with that board? Where did u get the board?"
Raymond Eustaquio
"From the colour, it looks as if it might be of catalin. If there's a spare piece you could try a slight scrape with the tip of a blade to see if the basic white colour shows up."
