Hi everyone, Sorry, I missed this thread before. This bottle is listed in an auction at the Archaeological Center in Tel Aviv on October 4. I'm really doubtful about it, because I haven't seen anything like it before, but these auctions are usually quite reliable. Robert Deutsch, who runs them, knows his stuff; he has good sources among some of the better Israeli collections; and his regular clientele seem for the most part to be very knowledgeable. That said, I've seen occasional mistakes with attributions, but those occur with any dealer or auction house. If this bottle is authentic (which, as I said, I rather doubt), it would be very rare and worth a good deal more than the starting bid. I'm wondering if Yankee has any thoughts about it.
