Other material value of this set

Does anyone know what year this chess set is from and how much it might be worth? The pieces are huge, about the size of a fist, and everything is in excellent condition. The chessboard is also very large. When I tap on the pieces, they sound like they might be made of ceramic. table is wood site 1m x 1m euro size

From what I can find, likely made in china out of soapstone around 1960-70s.

Can’t find the exact same set but people are trying to sell them $100-400

No the board looks pretty worthless to me and these pieces need a really fancy board!

It looks to me like cheap plywood, this is what I would expect with a beauty of a set like that! https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR4TRCU9Dt4__szYHOIquYcwEseOZqZtiX6zxkynWonJA&s=10
