Glad you are back, Nancy, and hope everything goes well for you.
Looks like Cheryl and I were googling/typing at the same moment, and with the same thought.:angelic:
My guess would be that there is a company in China making these by the thousands. Made and imported to be sold at medieval faires, crystal...
Perhaps a photo of the back of this pottery piece would help.....I think it is not a tile.
Sure; but I think the illustration of Holm's, and his explanation, makes it pretty clear to even the general population that there are differences...

I would wish to welcome you to the Antiquers forum, and not argue; but I might mention that when trying to identify objects it is best to keep an...

Welcome!
Could perhaps be aventurine, a green quartz; hardness 6.5; [ATTACH] (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aventurine)
I'm often redundant/repetitive, or just downright foolish.:bag: Your posts were very informative.
Just as a historical note, the "Topsy and Eva" reference is to a 1927 movie, featuring the Duncan sisters, Rosetta and Vivian, based on their...
The ad for "bag tops" would indicate that making such bags was a pretty popular craft project for ladies of the time. Buy the top, sew on a...
