Thanks, Ipcress and bigwull! Definitely looks like an amphora, and I figured we were dealing with a reproduction rather than some ancient Greek pottery, haha. We're curious about how old it is. I'm assuming that would difficult to pin down, though; it could easily be part of a very modern piece that was made to look a lot older than it is.

Thanks for the reassurance, and absolutely! I only have a metal tape measure so nothing I can really wrap around it, but it's 3 1/4 inches across at its widest part and is about 4 inches tall. The material is about half an inch thick.

My uncle found this in the Cooper River in Charleston, South Carolina and my grandmother has asked me to research it for her. Any information would be appreciated!








If this forum isn't the appropriate place to ask about this sort of piece, please let me know and I will remove the post.
