I always associate those rather acid yellows and reds with Chinese production. What does the base look like?

Hi

The design has some aspects in common with the Indian 3 flower spatter pattern weights. I think Asia is probably a good guess at the source. To me, car boot sale sounds appropriate for this type of weight...
