This is a wine taster's plate purchased at a European flea market. It's likely pewter, but I'm not certain as there are no markings. There are two stamps on the back, but I haven't been able to identify them, so the country of origin and age are unknown. The seashell motif is cute, and the size is just right for use as a small item container. Diameter: Approximately 8.5cm Height: 2.5cm Seashell part: 3.2cm wide, 3cm long Type: Small item container Popular keywords: France, England, Scandinavia, antique, vintage, brocante, flea market, old tools
