  The shape of the pieces is a standard [Staunton chess set](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staunton_chess_set). However, the marbled material makes it look rather unusual. I am not up on the rules about color use, but I have my doubts that it would be permitted in tournament use if one of the players objected.
