Ancient pottery

I found these two items last week:

Any info on them? Looks like pre-Columbian pottery from Peru to me.
I did some research on the fish, and it resembles something made by the Moche people.

Hmm.. but I think there's a high chance they might be fakes.
Any idea how to confirm their real age / authenticity? They look and feel very old but I'm not a clay expert so..

You're right that it may not be an ancient piece. Could be modern day souvenir so maybe not made to fake anyone. I would think you have to take the pieces to an expert for an opinion. I doubt even an expert could ID from a pic only
