Report of thermoluminescence analysis done by the Research Laboratory for Archeology and the History of Art, Oxford, UK, dated 12 Dec 1995 indicates that the sample taken from the base of the vase was estimated to have been last fired between 1300 and 2200 years ago, which is consistent with the suggested period of manufacture.
