Hi everyone! I found this interesting piece on the beach in the Tomük area (near Mersin, Turkey) on the Mediterranean coast.
It feels like a thick piece of ceramic or pottery with a distinctive raised, embossed pattern and some remaining blue-teal glaze. The back side is smooth and slightly curved, with what looks like a tiny drilled hole (or perhaps a natural erosion mark).
I've included a standard lighter in the first photo for scale. Does anyone recognize this style of pottery, the relief pattern, or the motif? Could it be a fragment of an old vessel, an antique tile, or some modern decorative item? I would appreciate any insights on its potential origin, history, or value. Thank you!
