This is a hand made alabaster vase that is, while not a museum replica, perhaps not unlike some carved by the ancient Egyptians thousands of years ago.

This alabaster vase is made using hand tools, and very possibly was made in the alabaster shops of Luxor. Egyptians hand-carve these fine vases using traditional tools, therefore, no two are exactly alike.

Hand made alabaster products are almost always much thinner, finer pieces that are more translucent than machine made alabaster. Its finish is also much less polished than machined alabaster. Obviously, the hand made products are also more sought after.
