    Indonesia or Thailand

    The dancer on the left piece looks like an Indonesian shadow figure. Do not think it is Thai (have lived in Thailand for 1 year, but am not ultimate expert).

    These are definetely indonesian and.more precisely javanese as the character is a wayang kulit puppet from the javanese shadow theater

    though the use of a fish can also make us think of some straits chinese work from around melaka straits in either singapore or malaysia

    Oh wait could be an export item for the dutch market as well done by a chinese silversmith in indonesia

    but again main option remains an origin around java island
