    Hi everyone,
    I have an old green plate that weighs around 650 grams. The surface is soft enough that I can scratch it lightly with a needle, and the mark stays. It feels quite heavy, and it has a floral and leaf design on the front.

    I’d love to know more about it – particularly:

    What material it might be made of

    How old it could be

    If the floral pattern has any symbolic meaning

    Which culture or country it might come from

    Any help or insight would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      Maybe soapstone?
