[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 1440933, member: 5833"]Speaking for the horses instead of the zebras, while I agree with everything that has been said, what it looks like to me is a clay repro made using a mold that was made from an impression of a genuine lamp that was filled up with soil. Perhaps it is filled with impacted earth, but it all looks the same material to me. Does it sound/feel hollow at all? And why is the spout clear but not the main opening? What does the side where there would have been a handle look like? There are antiquities & there are antiquities. If real, this is definitely one to enjoy for the cool factor because monetary value is about what you paid for it.[/QUOTE]
