Could be from a few places in the Middle East from Egypt to Iraq and is worth investigating but the design of vines and grapes / berries looks fairly modern. Has it been stained with oil or some other liquid ? That and the heat could make it appear older than it actually is.
The normal color is white. The material is very chalky like. Cracks here and there but no leaks. It has to be painted or stained.

No, it feels as if it's a clay/plaster. It has cracks in it.

About 7 inches tall 2 inches long and about 5 inches wide. I was thinking it was a wine flask because if the grapes on the front. Also the string on it is not original.
