 SCP-604 is a set of tableware and dishes, consisting of 19 plates of various sizes and designs. Several are ornately gilded, studded with diamonds and rubies, or made out of fine materials, such as porcelain, china, and crystal. Most are extremely heavy, the cutlery, cloth, chairs, table, and other items that made up the banquet where SCP-604 was discovered have no anomalous properties. Whenever an edible solid is placed onto one of the plates or a liquid is poured into one of the drink vessels, the food will transform into human flesh, or the nearest equivalent organ, body part, or fluid. The change from one product to another seems to be based on similarities between color, smell, and composition, although vague symbolism and mental associations seem to be occasionally involved as well.
