i might be having a senior moment.  is this pot really old or is it an example of what you are able to make to look old? 

Hey Old Lady,

This jar is an example of vessels I make. I had access to the archaeology lab and spent 100s of volunteer hours cleaning and sorting sherds from field school, all the while examining them for tool and handbuilding marks, decoration methods, etc. So I use what I noticed and documented on vessels I make in order for them to appear as though they just came out of the ground!! . It works for me... BTW, when I began to make them faster and cared less, the pottery results improved!

what do you think Antiques Roadshow experts would say about your pot?  (smiling emoji goes here)
