✅ SOLVED Aluminum Plates

[Indigo Knight]

I purchased these plates at an online auction and had them shipped to me. They were advertised as being pewter, but they are too hard and are most likely cast aluminum. They are 13" across and marked "Made in Italy" and with a mark that looks like "FTF." Does anyone know the maker? I've tried searching for various forms of the name on the bottom, which looks like "Tanini," but no success so far.

They're from Tonini Brothers (Tonini Fratelli in Italian), founded in Carpenedolo, Italy in the late 1930s. They specialize in brass metalware and castings (but also other metals).
