<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 820895, member: 5833&quot;]Even the most experienced people (I mean professional dealers &amp; museum curators in antiquities) are very careful when deciding whether or not something is ancient.&nbsp; There are so many extremely good fakes in circulation.&nbsp; Visual examination, particularly from photos alone, may provide enough information for an expert to decide an article is not a genuine antiquity; it is never adequate to make the determination of authenticity.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think you will be able to get a definitive answer to your question on this forum, but I suggest you do some research of your own in museum collections available on line such as the Greek &amp; Roman and Ancient Near East Art collections at metmuesum.org and the Department of Greece &amp; Rome at britishmuseum.org.&nbsp; Reviewing pottery in these collections should give you some terms to use for further research or in wording requests for assistance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
