Amorite terracotta vessel

Hi,

I have, for some time, been trying to identify a piece of ancient pottery in my collection. It is 5.375 inches in height. I was searching through FORVM's pottery from the Biblilcal lands when I came across a piece described as:
 
"Amorite, terracotta amphora, long stem and flared lip, flat shoulder, 6.8 inches tall, 2300 - 1800 B.C."

Although mine is about an inch shorter the style and size is very similar.



My specimen:
