    I didn't buy this because I didn't think it was real, but thought I would get some opinions on it.

    Pre-Columbian blackware does exist and this looks like blackware. It was about 14 inches high.

    I just noticed the white interior isn't some kind of age patina on ancient blackware.

    So now even after all this verbal abuse, our friend has been promoted.

    He's in new surroundings, a new neighborhood, with a new friend.

    Goes to show not to listen to what people say about you.

    He overcame the odds!
