Spain. This spooky resin chess set was bought in Barcelona in 2002. The label under the board says "Ajedrez Family Horror", but it is also known as "Halloween". The label has a "TACHI" logo (not found on internet), a postcode in Rubi near Barcelona and states "made in China". Possibly the set is designed by Paolo-Chiari, a home decoration company in Florence, Italy. On their site (www.paolochiari.net) it is listed as "Scacchi Vampiri vs Streghe" (Vampires vs Witches).
