Too round, nope!

Pardon my manners, to the family!
The flan is too "perfect", and detail is not accurate at all. I'm a beginner here myself, but this one's an obvious tourist reproduction. Be interesting to hear what the experts will say. Hang in there, they'll be along in a bit!

@ancient67, first welcome to CCF. Second, could you please share the diameter and weight of this piece? I agree with the others that the flan is too perfect, but it would be interesting to know how close these other parameters are to the real thing. Thx!

All this is helpul. I don't have more details, since I was thinking about buying this. But I'll be more careful in the future! The quote from Henri VIII is quite good!
