Authentic amphora?

(1/1)

tkonnova:
Hi all,

Im a bit new to collecting antiquities, and this glass(clay?) vessel is from my first batch of purchased items... I fear i do not have the knowledge to determine if it is authentic or not, if anyone can help me it would be much appreciated!

Thanks all!

slokind:
An odd question, but is this glass or clay?  Pat L.

tkonnova:
To tell the truth i cant tell, it feels like glass when tapped, but has dirt/sand coating the interior making it hard for me to determine. Im frightfully uninformed as to how to tell the difference without being able to see a raw surface such as the interior.  I have a second piece that is very similar to this one, so similar i assume it was found (or made) at the same location.  Ill post a few pics of that piece tomorrow.
