Can you shine a light on the inside to see if it has the same aged looking patina on the inside as it does on the outside.

Did you find it in the ground in Europe?

Cool piece, for sure!

I do believe it is a modern replication, due to the grinding marks on this lip of the opening. Notice the lack of the overall patina from the rest of the surface. I think it's wonderful piece nonetheless. I like the old ways of artificial illumination. I burn either a candle or oil lamp every morning before the sun comes up. I don't like to waist the early morning hours with Edisons idea.
