Yes, hence the grindin mark, no spark, came off like a white powder.

I'm thinking that's the really expensive rare metal from Homeous Interiorous, or Pierione Oneolgna..... very expensive Kentucky Chrome Painted Ceramic. Some of that stuff can go for 5 bucks a lb!!!!

If that's supposed to be a joke, I don't get it...

It's painted ceramic... like painted brass statues... it probably held flowers, or little metal "arms" in the holes. You see a lot of this stuff at the second hand shops/ Goodwill's.
