Krater

 Where did you find this? This was most certainly not what I ordered! I know that these painted vases were all over ancient Greece but this is such a farce. They were made en masse and came in all sorts of sizes. I’m amazed at how far this man has come when it comes down to [...]

Eared Cooking Pot

 Disappointing A couple weeks back I ordered a beautiful Mississippian ceramic piece, but what I got was a Mexican cooking pot. I will admit they are similar shapes and they have similar ears. The design around the rim, however, is all off, as well as the location it is supposedly from. The design I [...]

Tripod Vessel

 What is this??  I was so excited to have this item until I visited a museum and saw something from the same culture and time period. It looked completely different. So, I started to do some research. Turns out this is nothing like what it’s supposed to be, save the fact that there are [...]

Sword

You have a twin!  So, when my sword came in the mail, I was confronted with the AUDACITY Sadigh Gallery’s had to send me a dupe of what I found to be a mass-produced Chinese sword giving its worst attempt at replicating what was supposed to be my antique Japanese Gendaito katana– a sword with a style from 1876-1945, [...]

Clay Statue

 FAKE! FAKE! FAKE!   A buddy of mine has some of these statues at his house but I have never seen anything like this one. He looks like some Frankenstein combination of two different sub-styles of Jalisco statues. He has the face of the Ameca style, with bulging eyes and eyelids, prominent lips, and small teeth. [...]

Strap-Handled Pot

Do your research Sometimes what you order isn’t exactly what you get. The Chimu favored a black ceramic and so this object is already out of place, given the fact that it's painted. I let it slide thinking it was maybe a rare one. That is until I found out that the Chimu mass [...]

Clay Pot

Unbelievably bad! This Sadigh Gallery Clay Pot is an outright insult to the Native American Mound Builder pottery legacy. Stripped of its traditional geometric designs, very few authentic pots are left undecorated. Most of this pot is undecorated, and the carving is just bad. This pot is made in a European/Asian style. The bottom [...]

Amphora

What did I just get in the mail  I don’t even know why I bought this. I should’ve known this piece was fake from the price. The “Greek Amphora” is nothing less than a lazy job. The carvings were done swiftly with very little care. Carvings and paintings on amphoras were known to be very detailed [...]
