Dear Kim, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal. The presented object appears to be an Egyptian small vessel made from pottery. Such vessels were used for oils and perfumes. It was probably made in the Roman-Egyptian period circa 30 BC - 100 AD. Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market. This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided. A fair market estimation would be between 120 to 240 USD. This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary. With kind regards, Gregory
